Confusion about the PS3 Bodega guides in relation to YDL 6.2

[Cyber Akuma]

I am fairly new to linux, but YDL isn't my first expirence with it. I have used Ubuntu and OpenSUSE, so I am familiar with reposotories, but YDL confused me.... I coulden't find any GUI based reposotory manager.

I tried installing kyum and yumx using the Add/Remove Software app, but kyum didn't show up in my menu (I am assuming this is a KDE app since it starts with K) and Yum Extender only showed what reposotories I had, didn't let me nanage them, it was essentially just a slower version of Add/Remove Packages, so I removed them both.

I am no stranger to a terminal/command prompt, but I AM new to linux and woulden't know my way around most apps using a terminal.

Most of the guides seem to have been written starting with YDL 5.X, and for the 6.X guides, apparently there were a lot of changes between 6.0 and 6.1. I have no idea if these are still relevant for 6.2.

I started with the emulation guide, then realised I should read to the repo guide first, then realized I should read the installing software guide first.

But I don't know if the changes the software guide wants me to make to the extras repo will be valid for 6.2 or not, and there dosen't seem to be a 6.2 version of the Bodega repo.

I am completely lost, is there a 6.2 version of these guides and the Bodega repo? Is there any GUI version of these tools?

No - not really. 6.2 is only an incremental update from 6.1. Most of the 6.1 stuff still applies.

Remember - 6.2 only became public fairly recently - and that's the one most of us will use. Some folks will need to stick with 6.1 for the time being - there's some Bluetooth issues with 6.2. Others - like me - will upgrade to 6.2 when we have time - there's nothing pressing in there that I need, and it would damage my system to do an ill-thought out upgrade from 6.1 to 6.2.

As far as I know - unless billb states otherwise - the ps3bodega repo should work equally well in 6.2 as it does in 6.1. If there's too many issues, billb may have to create a separate 6.2 ps3bodega repo - he had to do this with the jump from 6.0 to 6.1.

We'll just have to see how the library dependencies work out. Stay tuned.

I see, thanks.

So that resolves the questions I had about adding the Bodega repo, can you tell me anything about the second link I posted? Namely, where it tells me to change the config file I have for my extras repo?

The current contents of the file and the data it wants me to paste are very different.

I'm not sure which extras you mean - there are two of them.

If you mean Fedora Extras, then yes - it should look like that.

However - yellowdog-extras you should leave alone - especially if you're running 6.2

Whatever comes as a default install of YDL 6.2

I saw three repos in my list (now 4 since I added Bodega): updates, extras... and I think the other was called base.

The file locations in the second link should make it clear which one I am talking about.

It was the step where it asked me to enter this text:

He's asking you to create a fifth - that's the confusion.

Remember this step?

2. Setup the fedora-extras repo if you haven't already:

On the terminal window, enter this command:
gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo

That's you creating fedora-extras.repo from scratch.

Leave yellowdog-extras, yellowdog-base, & yellowdog-updates alone - except for adding protect=1.

Then you create fedora-extras and ps3bodega. Fedora-extras should have the text you see in that post.

Clear?

That file already exists when I run that gedit command though.

You probably created it during another step. Can you post its contents here?

[Cyber Akuma]

Huh, maybe I mistook it for another file, I opened it to post the contents and it didn't exist.
