Problem description:

libspe2 and spu-tools are currently not available in Fedora8. Please add the
packages libspe2 and spu-tools to Fedora9.

They are available on http://sourceforge.net/projects/libspe
 
This would be very helpful for all Cell/B.E. based systems such as QS20/QS21 and
PS3.

Comment 1 Jarod Wilson 2007-12-19 16:55:36 UTC

This isn't how it works for Fedora, an interested party has to be willing to
maintain the packages in Fedora, per the Fedora guidelines. Please see the
following links:

(Also, note that kernel-utils is no longer a valid package, and hasn't been in
any distro since RHEL4).
