you'll find some rpms that will make an upgrade go more smoothly.
A version of yum that doesn't look in the ppc64 arch for ppc rpms.
A version of mkinitrd that doesn't require ppc64-utils.
A version of fedora-release for ppc.
With these installed (and a bit of manual labor), I upgraded my YDL3
iMac to rawhide.
Except for the kernel.
Some things to watch out for. FC's rc.sysinit didn't seem to catch some
necessary stuff for my ibook. pmud failed to work due to some /dev
entries missing, so I re-installed YDL's dev package. Some
/etc/sysconfig files where missing, that dealt with right/middle click
emulation and touchpad preferences. The pbuttonsd and mouse-emulation
services had to be re-enabled. The pbuttonsd was a really fun one
since your keyboard mappings will be way off until you fix it. I had
to ssh into my laptop from another system to adjust it. Not sure if
pbuttonsd required the new dev package or the new rc.sysinit, but for
some reason after a full upgrade it wasn't starting. I had fixed other
items before fixing this one.
Thats about all I can remember that tripped me up. IF anybody wants to
collect this information, and any other provided info into a how-to or
FAQ or whathave you, that would be really cool. I know the YDL folks
are interested in this as well.
