General Update.

Yesterday I've actually gone and installed YDL CUDA 6.3 - it appears
to be fairly similar to YDL 6.2, from what I can see on
ftp.osuosl.org.

Main difference I can see is YDL CUDA 6.3 has CUDA 3.2 whereas I
believe YDL 6.2 only has 3.0 (not sure if an update will fix this).

I believe this is mainly a CentOS 5.x based distro, but not having
enough experience with CentOS, that's about as precise as I can
pinpoint it.

Kernel is 2.6.18-164 - 64 bit kernel. And this is a problem
specifically for me, for the machine I've installed it on has no NIC
it recognises (got one of those Atheros things).  So from that boot
up, I can't even get online from it to get it fixed.

Hmmm... I'll either boot up a live CD with a newer kernel and chroot
in to it to fix it, or build a newer kernel and boot into it.  Open to
any other suggestions.

I guess the main advantage this would have over a stock current debian
is that it appears to have been optimised for nvidia hardware but it
uses such an old kernel that one may have trouble with newer machines
like mine.

BTW, CUDA is actually up to 4.0 at the moment, so they're behind on
this at the moment too.

Brings up the initial question: Who at the moment is using this distro?

You might be out of luck, depending on the state of play at the moment.

I've not really kept track, my ps3 firmware is unpatched and unupdated
since that OtherOS removal fiasco, and has been somewhat abandoned -
keeping it for old time's sake. Still boots YDL 6.2. I'm keeping it
for now as it's the only non x86 machine in the house I have that
boots an OS I can tinker with. I am waiting for those ARM machines to
come (and likely the linuxes to follow). But I digress...

Take a look at gitbrew.org. I think your man, Levand, is there.
(Thanks for keeping this going, Geoff!)

I would warn you, linux on any machine is not for the faint of heart.
You have to be prepared to get your hands dirty. You will break
things. Have backups.

And be nice on this list.

Robert Spykerman.

[ydl-gen] Firefox 5 build

For anyone who may be interested I have successfully built Firefox 5.0
in YDL6.2.  To enable build you need to patch two files in the source
so that IPC will work with powerpc.  These are given in the following
bug report.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=520465&action=diff

Having done this I used a .mozconfig as follows:

# .mozconfig
. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR= <at> TOPSRCDIR <at> /ff-opt
export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser
ac_add_options --target=powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize
ac_add_options --without-system-nspr
ac_add_options --without-system-nss
ac_add_options --with-system-zlib
ac_add_options --without-system-bz2
ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg
ac_add_options --without-system-png
ac_add_options --without-system-mng
ac_add_options --with-pthreads
ac_add_options --enable-update-packaging
ac_add_options --enable-update-channel=release
ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2
ac_add_options --enable-svg
ac_add_options --enable-canvas
ac_add_options --enable-xft
ac_add_options --enable-application=browser
ac_add_options --enable-ipc
ac_add_options --enable-pango
ac_add_options --enable-safe-browsing
ac_add_options --enable-extensions=default

Then I followed the following steps:

# make
make -f client.mk configure 
make -f client.mk build
# test
ff-opt/dist/bin/firefox
# package
cd ff-opt
make package
# archive in: /ff-opt/dist

The resulting archive is unpacked somewhere like /usr/local/lib and a
link set up:

cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/local/lib/firefox/firefox

This may not be as convenient as a rpm, but provides an executable
that seems to work quite well.  I have done limited testing on my
iBook and G5.  The build takes at least two hours on my G5.

I hope this is of use to someone.
