[Pkg-freeipmi-devel] Building freeipmi 1.2.5

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

someone needs to take care about updating packaging for new 1.2.5
release  -- go through upstream changes etc and change things
accordingly... I do not have time ATM so any help would be welcome!

Actually I see that at some point I have introduced some updates for
1.1.6
http://git.onerussian.com/?p=deb/freeipmi.git
but I guess never finalized in the light of freeze.  But soon we will
thaw -- might be a good time for 1.2.5 ;)
