Where are the openSUSE 10.1 PPC repositories that have KDE 3.5.4 in them?
There aren't any. KDE is built now by the openSUSE build service, but that has now only i386 and x86_64. PPC is not yet supported :-( I hope, that I can help to change this situation, but there is no guarantee.
Does any know if Packman will eventually have PPC equivalents of the i586 and x86_64 repositories? And yes I'd want the versions to be synchronized within a few days of each other :) . . .
Sorry, I'm usually a week late. My PPC recompilations for SUSE 10.1 are available at ftp://spike.fa.gau.hu/pub/pmppc101 10.0 packages are there, but I don't update them any more. The reason is, that Packman people use lots of different ways to compile packages, with many different home made scripts. I use the SUSE supplied y2pmsh, which requires carefully written RPM spec files, with all the necessary requirements included. This uses a chrooted environment, and makes sure, that any packaging problems are reproducible. I spent a lot of time on fixing up 10.0 packages, but finally I gave up, as some for some larger packages it took literally days to get them fixed, and it's not my only job :-) With 10.1 packman people finally spent a bit more time on better spec files, so I fix them more easily. I did not yet integrate PPC packages in the Packman website. It has a few reasons: - it does not generate yet the amount of traffic, which would justify to include it in a complex mirror infrastructure - it has many source RPMs modified, to fix dependency issues, add PPC patches, etc. - PPC packages have different (usually fewer) dependencies, as other packman packages etc. BTW: my machine is compiling Packman packages at the moment :-) Bye, -- CzP http://peter.czanik.hu/
