Rpmlit checks also Default-Start, I'll remove the runlevels from there.

Obsoletes: added, Provides: sounds silly to me.

Here I am not sure if we want dependency on FreeIPMI... It was not there before
and most users won't need it. I'll check it together with pknirsch and we'll
decide.

Done.

Fixed.

It just adds additional checks when opening files (like owner, inode, link
count etc.). It does not harm nor introduce any performance impact. I'll add it
there.

AFAIK, ipmitools talks to OpenIPMI driver via /dev/ipmi0. It does not link with
OpenIPMI libraries. One may use ipmitool when talking to remote host over IP,
completely without need of OpenIMPI.


I'll check the freeipmi-devel issue and post new .spec.
