# 1.4. Changelog for PowerPC

Below is a list of changes specifics for this architecture made since the previous release of the book. For general changes see Master Changelog,

Changelog Entries:

- June 18, 2006

  - [ken] - Added patch to let ofpath use PATH_PREFIX and add missing PATH_PREFIX to the ybin command for the 'from CD' variant in Making the Temporary System Bootable.

- June 13, 2006

  - [ken] - Added a warning to make sure all the necessary mac drivers have been selected if using an old ppc config, and corrected the boot chapter to ARCH=powerpc.

- June 9, 2006

  - [ken] - Some tidying of the additions to 'boot', corrections to partitioning, tidying and correcting the final instructions for making it bootable, and add instructions to boot the temporary system, either from OF via OSX, or using a CD to install the bootstrap. The instructions to boot from OF use an idea from Martin Schaffner's lfs-from-osx hint.

- June 8, 2006

  - [ken] - Add an appendix to discuss OF and Mac issues.

  - [ken] - Add hfsutils, mktemp, powerpc-utils to the 'boot' option, and put in the detail for building yaboot in that chapter.

- May 10, 2006

  - [ken] - Include the SATA patch for yaboot.

  - [ken] - Tidy up yaboot.conf, and drop references to pegasos ppc - it seems to need other patch(es) for yaboot, and perhaps different parameters in yaboot.conf. Also spell Open Firmware as two words.

- April 27, 2006

  - [ken] - Remove references to /usr/local from yaboot man pages.

- April 20, 2006

- December 19, 2005

  - [ken] - Remove -D_GNU_SOURCE from final build of patch.

- November 20, 2005
