Could you provide src.rpms too please :)

I assume you hacked archwork.py which is where the compat stuff is done.
Could you post a diff please - I'm just curious as I've been looking at
fixing this, and it's possible you've done this already so it works on
both ppc64 with 32 bit compat and ppc32 only.
Yes, I just took ppc64 out of the list in archwork.py. That means it
won't work for a ppc64 arch. It isn't a solution, it's a hack. :)

Do you require pmac-utils, I've built a package of that. I was
wondering about how this package should be structured as ppc64-utils
could provide pmac-utils.
I just removed the requirement for ppc64-utils. Once again, a hack, not
a fix.

I assume you just edited ExclusiveArch: rather than write ppc specific
release-notes :)
Yep!
Dan's the man!
btw, I'm running 2.6.0-test9 from bk://ppc.bkbits.net:8080/linuxppc-2.5
on my iMac DV, and it seems to be working fine.
