I prepared a new release ps3-utils-2.2.0 of the PS3 system admin utilities.
Source archives and Fedora 8 binary rpms are here:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/ps3-utils/

Major changes from v2.1 to v2.2.0 are:

 * A new helper script ps3-dump-bootloader to dump or check the md5sum of the
   bootloader image in flash memory.
 * A new helper script ps3-rtc-init to set the Linux RTC value to that currently
   used by the Game OS.
 * New or updated man pages for all the utilities.
 * Changed the libps3-utils license of from LGPL to GPL + runtime exceptions.
   See the text in lib/flash.h for details.
 * libps3-utils is now -version-info 2:0:0.
 * Added new ps3-boot-game-os options --no-reboot and --poweroff.
 * Added long option support to ps3-flash-util.
 * Added new ps3-flash-util option --game-time.
 * Changed some ps3-flash-util output for easier text parsing.
 * ps3-video-mode option -v and --video depreciated.  Use option -m or --mode.
 * ps3-video-mode option --full changed to --full-screen.
 * ps3-video-mode option --color changed to --full-range to match Game OS
   nomenclature of rgb full range.
 * ps3-video-mode option -c (rgb full range) changed to -g.
 * Re-worked ps3-utils.spec to support ppc and ppc64 builds of packages
   ps3-utils, ps3-utils-libs, ps3-utils-libs-devel.
