[Bug 1968076] Re: [BPO] ipmctl with support for CPS hardware

[Adam Borowski]

@ddstreet: no, I failed to get a sponsor, despite subscribing the bug to
~ubuntu-sponsors.  I may be doing something wrong as I haven't ever done
such a sponsored upload to Ubuntu directly.

The code works on Focal.

Title:
  [BPO] ipmctl with support for CPS hardware

Status in ipmctl package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ipmctl source package in Focal:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Hardware enablement of Optane DC persistent memory.  The version of
  ipmctl in Focal supports Apache Pass and Barlow Pass DIMMs but not the
  new generation, Crow Pass.  We got a request from an end user -- there
  should be no need to build such tools from source if Ubuntu can ship a
  backport.

  [Scope]

   * The version in Jammy is good, any version 03.* includes support for
  CPS (with decreasing bugginess as version numbers after the point
  grow...); Jammy currently has 03.00.00.0423-1

   * Focal for now.

  [Other Info]
   
   * I'm the Debian maintainer of this package; a naive backport succeeded after lowering debhelper level to 12 (as would using the debhelper=13 backport).
