Hi Debian Mentors and Debian PPCers,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "kboot-utils", it is needed
to make debian-installer complete a successful installation on
PlayStation3. I am also the upstream author.
* Package name : kboot-utils
Version : 0.2
Upstream Author : Antonio Ospite <ospite@studenti.unina.it>
* URL : http://git.ao2.it/kboot-utils.git/
* License : GPLv3
Programming Lang: Posix shell
Description: Helper tools to automatically generate a kboot.conf file
from entries in /boot.
The kboot.conf file can be read by the petitboot bootloader which is
used for instance on the Sony PlayStation 3 in OtherOS mode in
order to list kernels to boot.
It builds the binary package: kboot-utils
The package can be downloaded with dget using this command:
dget -u http://ao2.it/debian/kboot-utils_0.2-1.dsc
The source package can be found in the 'debian' branch at:
http://git.ao2.it/kboot-utils.git/
The package has been tested with pbuilder, checked with lintian,
verified to be piuparts-clean.
As I was saying this package is needed to have a 100% working
installation on the PlayStation3, for details look at Bug #619236:
http://bugs.debian.org/619236
you can also read on the wiki that as for now kboot.conf needs to
be created by hand:
http://wiki.debian.org/PS3#Debian_installer
The plan is to first have kboot-utils in the official archive and then
make d-i install it when machine==PS3.
Thanks,
Antonio
