GitHub has forcibly and without prior warning switched the IPMI Tool project repositories to archive mode, allowing read-only access. All repositories of Alexander Amelkin, the maintainer of ipmitool, have also been switched to read-only mode. The ipmitool package is included with RHEL, SUSE, Debian and other distributions Linux and is the most widely used open source command-line tool for managing, monitoring, and configuring servers with BMC controllers that support the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) standard.
The restriction was introduced without explanation of the reasons, but according to unofficial information, the reason for the restrictions was that Alexander was employed by Yadro, which was included in the blocking US sanctions list at the end of February. All GitHub repositories with open projects of this company, as well as employee repositories, have been switched to read-only mode.
