On CoreOS images, IPA runs in a Debian Jessie chroot which uses mawk as its default awk implementation. However, mawk doesn't support POSIX character classes such as [:space:], which means get_bmc_address() fails to parse the BMC IP address from the output of ipmitool. This patch replaces the use of [[:space:]] by [ \t] which is equivalent for the purpose of parsing the output of ipmitool. Note that matching on tab characters is not strictly required as the packaged version of ipmitool only uses space characters, but is left in case tabs are used in other versions.

Ironic Python Agent
Team and repository tags
Overview
An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.
The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.
The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.
