Hi Folks,
For various reasons, I've got a couple of packages that I'm not really
very well suited to maintain going on. I added them over the course of past
jobs and university courses, but I have no further need of them, and they
really could use people that actually use them.
This first batch deal with IPMI hardware. I used IPMI hardware in my last two
jobs, but in the present one, we don't use it, and the packages do need
maintenance with testing to make sure they actually work on the hardware.
sys-apps/ipmitool
sys-apps/ipmiutil
sys-libs/freeipmi
sys-libs/openipmi
sys-libs/openhpi
Again hardware related. You can deploy an iSCSI solution with just iscsitarget
and open-iscsi as a pair, but I have previously tried to test open-iscsi with a
hardware target, and iscsitarget with some other initiator (Windows or
Solaris).
sys-block/open-iscsi
sys-block/iscsi-initiator-core-tools
sys-block/iscsitarget
Again, hardware related, with an software implementation possible.
sys-block/aoetools
sys-block/vblade
Hardware, SCSI stuff dealing with enclosures and arrays:
sys-block/scsirastools
Hardware, SAS stuff (remote possibility I might come back for it if I get
hardware for it):
sys-block/smp_utils
Hardware, NUMA-capable boxes:
sys-process/numactl
Hardware, Fibre-Channel:
sys-apps/hbaapi
sys-block/qla-fc-firmware
sys-block/fwdl
Hardware, for tuning network cards. In new enough kernels (should be most of
2.6), this is obsoleted by mii-tools and ethtool:
sys-apps/nictools
Hardware, Firewire IEEE1394:
sys-apps/fwcrv
sys-block/endpoint
Hardware, flash disks:
sys-fs/mtd-utils (this was the replacement for sys-fs/mtd)
Software, QEMU frontend:
app-emulation/qenv
Hardware, programming PIC embedded microcontrollers (the herd might end up with
these, but somebody with the hardware to use them would be nice):
dev-embedded/icdprog
dev-embedded/pikdev
dev-embedded/xgpasm
Software, I picked up maintenance of autofs when the previous maintainer went
AWOL several years ago, and ran with it because I needed AutoFS-LDAP. I don't
have access to any AutoFS-LDAP setups anymore, and upstream has moved on. There
is a 7Kb init.d script that badly needs complete rewriting due to upstream and
kernel changes:
net-fs/autofs
Networking, Linux ethernet Bridging.
net-misc/bridge-utils
Networking, SCTP protocol.
net-misc/lksctp-tools
Networking, SLIP over file descriptors.
net-misc/vmnet
Networking, VLAN management for managed switches:
net-misc/vmpsd
Networking, admin tool for some networked printers and JetDirect-style adapter
boxes:
net-print/npadmin
Networking, modelling and predictive applications:
sys-apps/tcng
net-analyzer/nam
net-analyzer/ns
