OpenHPI for Debian ------------------- OpenHPI consists of a number of Debian packages. In order to avoid duplication, some of the important README (and other) files have been installed to: /usr/share/doc/libopenhpi3 Please look in that directory for additional documentation. OpenHPI comes from http://openhpi.sourceforge.net/. Please visit that website for further information and documentation. OpenHPI needs a config file to know how to talk to the hardware on your computer. The file that has been installed with this version of OpenHPI is the one supplied by the OpenHPI project, which may not be suitable for your installation. Please review and modify /etc/openhpi/openhpi.conf so that it works with your hardware. You will then need to restart the openhpi daemon: /etc/init.d/openhpid restart Additionally, you may need to install some of the OpenHPI plugin modules. Those currently supplied by the OpenHPI project are: openhpi-plugin-ilo2-ribcl openhpi-plugin-ipmi openhpi-plugin-ipmidirect openhpi-plugin-oa-soap openhpi-plugin-ov-rest openhpi-plugin-snmp-bc openhpi-plugin-sysfs Others may become available from other sources. Source ------ In the Debian source, the upstream orig.tar.gz file has been modified as follows: - The files generated by the autoconf/automake tools have been removed. These are rebuilt anyway during the Debian package creation, and inclusion in the original source tarball complicates the Debian package maintenance. - If package does not build properly on a platform autoconf and automake need to be run on that particular platform to regenerate the above files.
