Please considering adding the latest ppc64-diag to the ppc64 F16 distribution.   ppc64-diag is the opensource version of diagela for ppc64 (IBM hardware).  

Source can be obtained from -> http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-diag/files/ppc64-diag/

rpmspec is included in the tarball and builds cleanly on early versions of f16 ppc64.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.2

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think we can ship it with that license:

> Licensee does not 1) use, copy, modify, or distribute the Program except as
> expressly permitted in this Agreement; 2) reverse
> assemble, reverse compile, otherwise translate, or reverse 
> engineer the Program.

(There's no explicit permission to modify/distribute anywhere else in the COPYRIGHT file)


Fedora is all about free software, each package needs to be freely modifyable and distributable. Each package shipped by Fedora needs to have an approved License that is listed at 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#SoftwareLicenses

That is clearly stated at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Fedora_Licensing

On that latter page there is also information on how to get a license approved by our legal team.

Understood.  I'll pursue the licensing issue.

We'll post a new tarball with the correct (open-source) license early next week.

Please use the tarball at - https://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-diag/files/ppc64-diag/2.4.2/
This package has the EPL license.

Comment 6 Karsten Hopp 2011-09-07 11:30:48 UTC
The ppc64-diag-2.4.2 tarball isn't available anymore from sourceforge.
I still have a copy, but could you please make it at official release that everyone can access ?

Comment 7 Karsten Hopp 2011-09-07 15:08:27 UTC
rpmlint is also complaining about missing man pages. I suspect that thos ebinaries aren't intended for normal use, and are only helpers for the startup script and the daemon, is that correct ?

Done. The folder was deleted accidentally , tarball is now available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-diag/files/ppc64-diag/2.4.2/

Comment 10 Karsten Hopp 2011-09-12 15:21:55 UTC
Package is in the latest mash trees:

http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/mash/16/ppc64/os/Packages/ppc64-diag-2.4.2-3.fc16.ppc64.rpm


@IBM: You might want to check http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/ppc64-diag/2.4.2/3.fc16/src/ppc64-diag-2.4.2-3.fc16.src.rpm, as there are additional spec file changes, i.e. the helper binaries got moved to /usr/libexec

I installed Fedora 16 using the following DVD ISO
http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/karsten/iso/RC3/ppc64/iso/

I then used the "ibmtools" script to install the LoP RAS tools.  It doesn't install them all as not all are currently available.  But it did install the tools I need to get rtas_errd (ppc64-diag-2.4.2-4.fc16.ppc64).

Here is the output from ibmtools --install

However, the rtas_errd service wouldn't start automatically when the system booted.  I worked with Jim Keniston today and we were able to work around the problem by manually adding rtas_errd as a startup service.  Did this by running the following commands:

// Create symbolic link of rtas_errd in /etc/init.d/
ln -s /usr/libexec/ppc64-diag/rtas_errd /etc/init.d/rtas_errd

// Use chkconfig to add rtas_errd service to the proper runlevels to start during power on
chkconfig rtas_errd on

Work needs to be done so the end user doesn't have to do these manual steps on a Fedora environment.
