[Bug 1868882] Re: [SRU] Put ipmctl into Bionic (and update necessary deps)

[Rafael David Tinoco]

Hello Jeff,

I just synced with other engineers about this particular bug and it was
brought to my attention that a MIR was attempted before and didn't pass
(LP: #1854181). Unfortunately, for this case, a MIR is needed because
the package is in [universe].

There is something else:

$ rmadison ipmctl
 ipmctl | 02.00.00.3474+really01.00.00.3469-1 | eoan/universe  | source, amd64
 ipmctl | 02.00.00.3709+ds-1                  | focal/universe | source, amd64

02.00.00.3709+ds-1 is not a final release.

The best move here would be:

1) Future MIR for ipmctl package (20.10 ?), based on the feedback given:

"""
I'd ask you to revisit promoting it maybe in 20.10 or later.
If then things turn out to be super stable and HW exists one could
even later consider doing an major version SRU under the Banner of HW
enablement.
"""

IF MIR passes (certainties will be reduced, but can't guarantee):

2) FFe exception to update Focal to latest released version.

4) SRU exception to update Eoan to Focal version.

3) SRU exception to make same version available to Bionic.

So, for now, fastest thing to be done at your side would be to maintain
a PPA enabling this HW.
