Looking for the factory iso?

[Klaas.]

Hi,
I looked for output from factory to install om my PPC.
The place I looked into was: powerpc.opensuse.org/factory/iso/
which still contained the .iso file I downloaded and tried to
install 10 days ago with no success (it doesn't boot).

My question is: Do I look in the right place? If that is correct
I will just check thee directory from time to time. If not,
where should I look?
greetings,
Klaas.

This is the right place.

However they will be generated once Factory has finished building.

It looks like the ppc ftp tree might have rebuild, but perhaps
its incorrectly configured :/ (images build only has "local" not
"ppc" enabled)

Coolo, should images/ppc be enabled in the _product:openSUSE-ftp-ftp-ppc
package?

Ciao, Marcus

Not only updated ISO files are missing, repo/oss/suseboot/instXX are
also from August:

Well, the Factory PPC tree updated over night ... I am updating right now.

The above are built by installation-images, which has failed build
due to missing dependencies (due to the perl upgrade and sax2 not
building) mostly.

Ciao, Marcus

Good to hear.

Couple of questions:

1. Can you install the current factory from that iso as it is now?

2. Any idea on the timeframe for a fix for that?

Thanx

Updating earlier factory to the current version works fine. I have KDE 4
running on my machine, and it works nicely, even if not at lightning
speed :)

A new CD is already here, but "inst32" is still not updated since
August. It does not seem to cause a problem on Pegasos PPC. It just
needs one little trick: brokenmodules=via82cxxx, other way IDE does not
work.

What the problem is, that patterns require "grub", which is not
available on PPC, and this prevents installation:
"
Nothing provides grub needed by patterns-openSUSE-base-11.2-23.2.ppc
Conflict Resolution:
do not install pattern:base-11.2-23.2.ppc
"
And the same text is repeated two more times with pattern:x11.. and
pattern:xfce... after "do not install".

Coolo: could you make grub in patterns conditional again?
