Please upgrade ps3pf-utils to 2.3 version

Here is what I think on this (Dan please correct if I'm wrong)...
- We now have an up-to-date ps3-utils package from Debian (automatically sync'ed)
- We are currently keeping our outdated ps3pf-utils

The goal is to replace ps3pf-utils with ps3-utils. To achieve this, we need to:
- update ps3-utils to mark it as "Replace"ing ps3pf-utils (debian/control file)
- update ps3-kboot to make it depend on ps3-utils rather than ps3pf-utils

I will try to cook some debdiffs to do that, but I must warn that I am almost completely new with regards to deb packaging :).

ps3-utils is already marked as Conflicting and Replacing ps3pf-utils, so I will directly with a simple change on ps3-kboot...

ps3-utils is currently in universe, so we need to get it moved to main to replace ps3-pf-utils. Please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReportTemplate for more info. I can help you with this if you would like.

Luke, thanks for your help...

I will have a look at the main inclusion report information necessary.

Unfortunately before I can move on to that, I have to manage to compile ps3-kboot on my "karmic" PS3. I made a very simple change to the Build Depends section in debian/control (ps3pf-utils to ps3-utils), but compile fails in the middle.
 I will attach the failed log here for reference.

I fear a FTBFS patch is needed to rebuild ps3-kboot on a karmic toolchain. I will try to do what I can on this, but C compilation failures are not my cup of tea :(

Thanks

I applied a very simple patch to make the call to open() in gcc's collect2.c to go beyond the failure above.

And this now fails with the attached log. There were more information in stderr, I will try to redo a debuild with stderr rerouted to a file.

At first glance, this one looks more complicated...

Here is the additional information I mentioned in my previous comment, it is a buffer overflow :( :

the best option would be to find where in ps3-kboot-1.6/kboot-11/build/bin/powerpc-linux-uclibc-ar it is crashing. As a work-around, add -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE to the CFLAGS of the build. See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilerFlags
