ipmiview-deb

Build scripts to easily create a amd64 .deb package for Super Micro IPMIView. 32 bit is not supported but should be trivial to add. Tested on Ubuntu trusty and wily probably works on Debian too.

The created package provides:

• Desktop shortcut (makes 'Super Micro IPMIView' appear in your desktop menu)
• ipmiview cli command, starts the IPMIView application
• ikvm cli command, to start a KVM session without using the IPMIView application.

Usage: ikvm <ip> <username> <password>

Dependencies

You will need the devscripts and the debhelper packages installed in order to build the Super Micro IPMIView .deb file:

apt-get install devscripts debhelper

Building

• Download the .tar.gz file from Super Micro IPMIView FTP site and place it in the root directory of this repo.

• Create a new debian/changelog file using the provided update.sh script:

./update.sh

• Build the package with the following command:

debuild -us -uc -b

• Please 'Star' or 'Watch' the repo on github: https://github.com/procurios/ipmiview-deb/stargazers

Installing

Install the package with the dpkg command:

dpkg -i ipmiview...

Alternatively, you can create your own simple repo or more professional one to host your custom deb packages.
