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

[Thomas Ward]

NACK as is. (negative acknowledgement aka "Debdiff Rejected")

You are attempting to submit a new upstream version not in the Ubuntu
repositories.  Unlike Debian, an Ubuntu backport requires a little more
work to push this in.

Jammy has 03.00.00.0423-1.  Your debdiff is for 03.00.00.0429 which is
**not** available in any Ubuntu release (even the development release).

Rebase your diff against the package in Jammy (dsc link:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+sourcefiles/ipmctl/03.00.00.0423-1/ipmctl_03.00.00.0423-1.dsc
- dget this), and then re-provide your debdiff here.  I'll check it for
sanity before uploading.

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).
