Could you provide src.rpms too please :)

I assume you hacked archwork.py which is where the compat stuff is done.
Could you post a diff please - I'm just curious as I've been looking at
fixing this, and it's possible you've done this already so it works on
both ppc64 with 32 bit compat and ppc32 only.

Do you require pmac-utils, I've built a package of that.  I was
wondering about how this package should be structured as ppc64-utils
could provide pmac-utils.

I assume you just edited ExclusiveArch: rather than write ppc specific
release-notes :)

FWIW there is a new YDL kernel available (thanks Dan):
