[Bug 1251694] [NEW] Please backport ipmitool 1.8.13-1 (universe) from trusty

[Kent Baxley]

Public bug reported:

Please backport ipmitool 1.8.13-1 (universe) from trusty to precise,
quantal, raring, saucy.

Reason for the backport:
========================
This will provide users with a newer version of ipmitool currently only available in trusty.

Some new features include the ability to advertise information about the
server via the BMC without any additional agents installed on the
server.

Example: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/os-
applications/w/wiki/5010.set-os-information-in-idrac-via-ipmi.aspx

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s trusty -d precise ipmitool
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s trusty -d quantal ipmitool
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s trusty -d raring ipmitool
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s trusty -d saucy ipmitool

* precise:
[x] Package builds without modification
[x] ipmitool installs cleanly and runs
* quantal:
[x] Package builds without modification
[x] ipmitool installs cleanly and runs
* raring:
[x] Package builds without modification
[x] ipmitool installs cleanly and runs
* saucy:
[x] Package builds without modification
[x] ipmitool installs cleanly and runs

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of ipmitool. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new ipmitool. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new ipmitool installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.
