f16 netinstall via tftp or nfsroot
by Jimi Xenidis 19 Nov '11

I have a bunch of machines with no CD-ROM access, but I can TFTP really large images just fine, or even use NFS. I've been attempting to use an NFS root, but it is non-obvious. Any hints or tips? -jx

The 32bit ppc yum repodata that used to be located at http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/mash/16/ppc/os/repodata are missing. Just a cron job failing? Ingvar

Update packages available now for Fedora 16 Alpha on Power
by Phil Knirsch 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi everyone. As we're making quite good progress on fixing issues for the upcoming Fedora 16 Beta on Power we wanted to make sure everyone can get the updates on his system. We don't have a automated update syncing in place yet, but Dennis Gilmore is currently working on a solution that should make that possible for all secondary archs across the board. In the meantime if you want to get the already available updates you'll have to follow the instructions that Karsten Hopp put together (shamelessly copy & pasted from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/PowerPC) As we currently don't update the package repositories on the mirrors regularily, users of pre-releases of Fedora-16 for PowerPC who need to test packages that are newer than those in F16-Alpha (or later F16-Beta) have to manually add the repo containing the latest packages to their /etc/yum.repos.d directory. They need to create a new file, p.e. /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-16-prerelease.repo with these contents: [fedora-16-prerelease] name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - prerelease failovermethod=priority baseurl=http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/mash/$releasever/$basearch/os/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch Or on your F16 system, you can issue the following command to download the repo and put it in the correct place: wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-16-prerelease.repo https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/7/71/Fedora-16-prerelease.repo A fresh installation for F16-Beta (or F16-Final) when those are released is highly recommended so that you can verify that all reported and closed as fixed bugs have really been addressed in -Beta (or -Final). Have fun & happy hacking, Thanks & regards, Phil -- Philipp Knirsch | Tel.: +49-711-96437-470 Supervisor Core Services | Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Red Hat GmbH | Email: Phil Knirsch <pknirsch(a)redhat.com> Hauptstaetterstr. 58 | Web: http://www.redhat.com/ D-70178 Stuttgart, Germany

Fedora 16 Alpha on Power ready for testing!
by Phil Knirsch 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Good news everyone! At long last the Fedora Secondary Arch Team for Power proudly presents the Fedora 16 Alpha release. It's still hot, so grab it while you can from here (in case you have appropriate hardware, obviously): https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/16-Alpha/ppc64/ But beware, it's still a bit rough around the edges and needs some more TLC, but hey, it's an Alpha, right? ;) More details about this Alpha release can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_16_Alpha_PPC_release_notes and we do have an official release announcement as well here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F16_Alpha_PPC_release_announcement (both of which have shamelessly been taken from the primary arch Fedora 16 wikis and modified to reflect the state of Power architecture, known issues and some workarounds for those). I want to thank everyone involved in making this happen, it's been a pretty long stretch with quite a few hurdles, but we finally got the first big milestone done towards the goal to get a Fedora 16 on Power out. Next up obviously Beta and then RC, so stay tuned for more updates in the near future! As usual, the whole team can typically be found on the #fedora-ppc IRC channel on FreeNode and via our email list: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/ppc And we have our Secondary Arch wiki with (decently) updated information: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/PowerPC Thanks & regards, Phil -- Philipp Knirsch | Tel.: +49-711-96437-470 Supervisor Core Services | Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Red Hat GmbH | Email: Phil Knirsch <pknirsch(a)redhat.com> Hauptstaetterstr. 58 | Web: http://www.redhat.com/ D-70178 Stuttgart, Germany
