I get this question a fair amount so it's worth responding to. The inhibiting factors right now are:<br /> <br /> - PS3 required ebuilds were just moved from the cell over to portage and are still ~<br /> - Mainline does not fully support everything we need/want for PS3. We're hoping for 2.6.25. For the record, we also hoped 2.6.23 and 2.6.24.<br /> - Without Gcc-4.3, we lack the cell optimizations for mcpu and mtune. Right now we pass 970 and altivec. This goes in-line with the comment I made in my earlier post about inching towards a profile.
