Yum and Freshprms?

Postby Radioactive0110 » 16 Jan 2009, 22:12

I've installed Yum and Freshrpms on YDL 6.1 on my PS3, and there nowhere to be found... No icon, no nothing, except they are marked as installed in the add remove packages app. Anyone know whats going on? Thanks in advance.

Most of us here use a combination of fedora-extras (FC6), livna (FC6), and dribble (F7) as described in this post:

Alternatively, I have a repo of my own as described here:

PS3 60GB [CECHA01], FW 3.15, YDL 6.2, Samsung T260HD @ 1920x1200
Powermac G4 1.25 GHz x2, 2 GB RAM, YDL 6.2

I know about the other repositories, I am setting them up whenever I can get on the PS3, I was just wondering if yum is a program with like a GUI, or if it's just usable from the command prompt.

The Add/Remove Program application (aka pirut) is the GUI for Yum. What you should see when you add a repo are additional available programs. You may need to run yum clean all after adding new repos, to clean the repo caches.

Also - billb mentioned this post just to remind you of this:

IMPORTANT NOTE:
There are other compatible repos you can use with Yellow Dog Linux, but it is possible for two repos to be incompatible with each other. Livna and FreshRPMs are said to be incompatible. While you might not see any immediate problem if you set up both, you will most likely run into problems later.

However, it is OK in some cases to install an RPM directly from zod (FC6) freshrpms. For example, click on "Choose a group to list" in the upper right corner and select "Emulators" to find the snes9 ppc.rpm.
