YDL 6.2 version of PS3Bodega Repo

[billb]

I'm almost ready with the YDL 6.2 version of the ps3bodega software repository ... in this version I've removed nearly everything from Livna as well as a number of packages that have now been added to yellowdog-extras. Also, it will no longer be necessary to use fedora-extras, so the ps3bodega repo will be the only one you need to add to the default YDL repos.

At this point I believe I've installed and tested nearly all the packages on a fresh install of YDL 6.2 and only had to add a couple of packages.

Initially I'll only have emulators, games, Opera 10, and a few major updates for YDL (such as Qt4 4.5.2). Next I want to add updated gstreamer packages as well as the "bad" and "ugly" ones not included with YDL. If that doesn't allow for YDL's default media player (totem) to play a good range of file types then I'll see about adding an updated build of VLC.

Once that's up and running I'll start looking at updating packages again.

Good to here. Guess it's time I switch over to 6.2 permanently. Thank you for all your hard work and time Bill.

Cheers,

I wanted to include gstreamer-plugins-ugly, gstreamer-plugins-bad, and gstreamer-ffmpeg in the 6.2 version of the repo (for mp3 audio playback and various video formats)... sounded simple enough. I ended up having to rebuild a good number of other packages as dependencies, but I think it's finally about ready!

That sounds good -- also for QMC2 (to use Phonon / the built-in MP3 player) !

Argh... my gstreamer stuff was working OK, but on testing the versions I have in the repo on a fresh install of YDL 6.2 I'm getting lots of crashes. Grrr. Back to work ...

Shit... but you will get it fixed, I'm sure !

While we're at it... a proposed goodie for your repo:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/romwiz/

It's easy to use, nice enough, and it "just works"(TM).

Found one problem so far -- gstreamer-plugins-bad was built with directfb enabled that's probably not needed on the PS3 with no access to hardware acceleration.

Nice -- thanks for giving me something else to do! LOL No really it looks good.

It is uploaded and working now, just not to a point where I'm happy with it. There are currently some issues with the additional gstreamer plugins for totem, but the emulators & games should work fine.

If you want to go ahead and try using it, here's how the repo file should look:

/etc/yum.repos.d/ps3bodega.repo

Code: Select all

[PS3Bodega]
name=PS3Bodega.com YellowDog Compatible Packages
baseurl=http://pleasantfiction.ipower.com/ps3linux/ps3bodega62/ppc/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

It is designed to be used without fedora-extras since Yellowdog 6.2 now has it's own yellowdog-extras repo. So you should just have yellowdog-base.repo, yellowdog-updates.repo, yellowdog-extras.repo, and ps3bodega.repo. No longer using yum-protectbase, either.
