OpenSuSE on PS3 some questions

[Joop Boonen]

As I wanted to install openSuSE on my new PS3. I was looking for openSuSE
11.2 but I saw that openSuSE 11.2 doesn't exist.

Does anyone know if there is a openSuSE 11.2 reposity from where I can
install openSuSE 11.2.

I've now installed openSuSE 11.1 which works fine. But I want to install
the latest release.

I would like to know what the future of OpenSuSE for ppc is and how it
will be handled in respect to releases?

Regards,

Joop.

Unfortunately, the ppc port was dropped from official support before
11.2 was released.

Factory was syncing recently, but I'm not sure if it finished. The
install kernel is still outdated, and looking at the time stamps, it
doesn't look like much has been updated recently.

PPC is only 0.3% of the openSUSE users. Novell is still planning on a
PPC port for SLES so I'm not sure where we're going to see it going in
the future.

The factory repository for PPC is:

powerpc.opensuse.org

You should be able to change your repositories to those locations and
do a "zypper dup" to migrate to close to an 11.2 install.

Good luck

There was one Factory sync which was not so bad, but the current state is kinda
broken.

I submitted fixes for installation-images to build, so the NET ISO might work again
at some point in time.

Ciao, Marcus

Thanx Marcus. Progress is always nice.
