Hello Dinar,

Last time I heard, I had to cross-grade from Factory:PowerPC to 12.2:PowerPC because Factory:PowerPC was not building/publishing.

I had those publishing issues fixed some months ago, Factory is publishing regulary currently.

Is there any update on 12.3 status, given that a Beta party was announced? I.e., is there a more recent repository to test than 12.2, be it Factory or 12.3?

And do we plan to merge Factory:PowerPC into Factory proper like ARM is targeting? Or are there still blockers keeping us from doing so?

PowerPC for 12.3 is building in openSUSE:12.3 directly, in the ports repo. This causes some headaches currently as the "preinstallimages" speedups for factory cause our workers to die (due to high io load we think, we never fully debugged it). Factory is in a good state failure wise, and you should probably test from this right now until PPC 12.3 is build through. I have however not actually tried upgrading or installing.

Great to hear that!

I `zypper dup`ed to Factory yesterday and ran into a couple minor issues but am running fine now. * It hung on reboot after installation, had to force-poweroff. * There is no kernel-ppc64 any more, so my kernel was not upgraded. Yes. it seems we have kernel-default here. see: http://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel-source/commit/config/ppc64/default?id... => `zypper in kernel-default` and change default Boot Loader in YaST * Quite a few packages stayed behind, mostly libraries. => zypper rm * The xf86-video-* packages have some ABI dependency issue currently. * Surprised that /dev/kvm didn't have group kvm, will check qemu.spec.

Cheers, Andreas

Yeah, I figured that out by looking at `zypper se kernel`. :) Can we use Obsoletes: kernel-ppc64 on kernel-default to fix this? I'll write to opensuse-kernel ML

I see that there is a 12.3 repo for PowerPC. Has anyone installed & is using this?

I would like to see the NET install iso for 32-bit systems. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org

Also note that we are now publishing powerpc updates!

Nice! Good to hear there is still some life left in this. I'm toying with picking up a G5(Dual proc 2.0) to play. Fastest Powermac I have is a 466Mhz G4 now. What about the build service? I'm assuming most repos are only built for 32/64bit x86? Thanx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org

Various development projects have powerpc support these days (but msotly enable Factory PowerPC).

If you are interested in projects to have powerpc binaries you can write them...

Not me. I'm not a programmer. I just play with the hardware to see if I can get any use out of it. :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org
