I usually compile from sources, but this is not quite the most popular
approach.  A good RPM repository for YDL is http://freshrpms.com,
though sooner or later you will face the need to install something
that does not exist as Linux PPC incarnation but as sources.

On Linux PPC compiling from sources is often the only way to get the
latest and greatest.  YDL is rather behind the times, and in general
x86 RPMs appear much faster than their PPC counterparts.
