There is a major upgrade for PPC port of Packman. There are hundreds of new packages, so my little Pegasos was compiling for weeks. But finally all the packages, which I could recompile, are up to date.
There are also many missing for various reasons:
- x86 binary only
- Java
- has x86 assembly in source
- has x86 optimizations in makefiles (I'll fix these later)
- just failed to compile (might compile better next time)
These packages were compiled, but only partially tested by me. Please let me know, if you have any trouble with the the packages!
You can download these at ftp://spike.fa.gau.hu/pub/pmppc101
Sources are not yet uploaded, will do that tomorrow.
Description of packages is available at the Packman site at: http://packman.links2linux.de/

Hello, czp!
Sorry for lame question, but what i can install downloaded packman's stuff from local disk, not from ftp? YAST not allow local sources, and only one way for me now - step by step install packages via mc
Internet have some FAQ's but only on deutch language... Ich bin nicht fershtehen deutch

Hello,
You can also use a local directory for installation. All you need to do is to make a proper mirror of it to a local HDD. You can use ftp, but rsync is more convinient: Then add it as an installation source in YaST. Before package management fixes, one had to use "refresh" in the "installation source" YaST applett, now it seems to properly recognize, if anything changed. So, if you have not done so, please apply the latest SuSE upgrades too...

Of course, you can always look at the packman website http://packman.links2linux.de/ and check package dependencies manually, download only the files necessary and use for each downloaded package. But using the ftp or a local mirror is more convinient.

For x86 I have a local mirror on an USB HDD, whenever I visit a place with better Internet connection, I update it and use it as a local installation source at home.

Another big update, this time cinelerra is also included. Some significant updates are expected this week, new x264, ffmpeg, cinelerra, etc. I'll recompile them for PPC as soon as they are available.
