Dear Dan,

as some who has had a pull request open with some open source
 project for 11 years I share your frustration.

I have you have dealt with all of the legalese stuff properly in your recent 
shar file.

In the Yocto Linux build tree of iDRAC 7.20.30.50 (available from
opensource.dell.com) they download argtable 2.13 from Sourceforge
and simply build it without any change. The RPM files you have contain
probably argtable 2.11 from the year 2009. But given you need
a Linux build anyway, this is of no help here.

racadm seems to be embargoed, i.e. the iDRAC tree contains some binary
components pre-built by Dell.

I think it perfectly makes sense to use the old bug and submit the
git diff there (as an attachment), you can also push the patch to
https://reviews.freebsd.org/differential/

Probably it might be worth switching to the Red Hat 9 userland
instead of the already dead CentOS 7.

But there is also one more possibility to deal with the Dell machines:

https://github.com/dell/iDRAC-Redfish-Scripting provides the information
how to script some functionality of iDRAC using the Redfish protocol.

There is even a guide mapping some racadm commands to the Redfish APIs
available.

But a full racadm port can be useful anyway.. I think we are pretty
close to get this committed....

Marcin
