-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 * Package name : ps3-kboot Version : depends on choice of upstream (see below) Upstream Author : (see below) * URL : (see below) * License : GPL Programming Lang: mixed (shell, c, etc) Description : First stage bootloader for the PS3 The ps3-kboot package provides a first-stage bootloader which can be used to boot a Sony Playstation 3 into Debian GNU/Linux. This package will provide a copy of the bootloader file which can be used by various installers and live-cd distributions, as well as support for updating the bootloader image using utilities from the ps3-utils package. a note about "upstream": ps3-kboot is a customized version of kboot, which comes from http://kboot.sourceforge.net/, and can be found at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/. in ubuntu this has already been packaged, but it's not yet clear whether this is derived directly from the former or latter. there are also very clear QA problems with all three versions (the two "upstreams" and the ubuntu package) which as it stands now prevent the software from being acceptable in debian. this is IMHO, but it did also get a public "eww" from an ftp-master when i mentioned it on IRC. i go a little more into detail about this (problems, plans, etc) here: http://www.seanius.net/blog/2008/10/ps3-kboot-for-debian/ sean - -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFJBHMYynjLPm522B0RAiEuAJ9ZDMx+4IKvO+DBntXXsRcxDdwbEQCbBJD+ 77MM/G755ew4hKqS7OmXE0M= =Fdh4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
