- Also Listed In: linux
- License: not specified in port
- Description:
- This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of Fedora Core
Linux 6. These packages, in conjunction with the linux kernel module,
form the basis of the Linux compatibility environment. It is designed to
provide a nice user experience by using the FreeBSD configuration for
corresponding Linux stuff where possible. Because of this any work which
needs to chroot into the linux base may not work as expected (no fallthrough
to the FreeBSD config possible).
This port is only available for the i386/amd64 architecture (i386/32 bit mode).
If you want to run X11 applications, install the x11/linux-xorg-libs port.
For cross-development this port is not suitable, you should use a linux_dist
port instead in this case.

Deprecate all non-default Fedora based linux_base respectively linux-fx-*
ports. All of them are End of Life (no security updates) since a loooong time.
As they are not the default, I decided to go with a short expiration date (one
month). The maintainer of the few ports which depend upon the f8 infrastructure
is informed to take action (update to the default f10 infrastructure, or to
deprecate). |

Deprecate md5 in favour of sha256 checksums. md5 checksums will no longer
be generated or checked, and will be silently ignored for now. Also,
generalize the MD5_FILE macro to DISTINFO_FILO.

*** ATTENTION *** DANGER *** EXPERIMENTAL PORT *** YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ***
1. Add a check if linuxulator is (kld)loaded. IGNORE otherwise.
Before this commit the port compared compat.linux.osrelease with 2.4.2
and was IGNOREd if those values are equal. In case linuxulator
is *not* loaded, the port proceeded to install, to load linuxulator and
to use... compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2!
The port as is doesn't proceed (without linuxulator loaded or
if compat.linux.osrelease is equal to 2.4.2) even for "make fetch".
Imho that's OK, because it won't let automated tasks to load
unneccessary distros, while a human administrator should know
what to do by hand. ;-)
BTW, I'm not sure but may be it'a be a good idea to use IGNORE
if (FreeBSD) OSVERSION < (say) 700037...
2. Apply the same tests for packages.
3. Bump PORTREVISION.
Enjoy. ;-) |

ATTENTION! The port is experimental for now. Use it at your own risk. This
port may be used only with 7-CURRENT and compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16.
To use/test the port (along with linux FC4 infrastructure ports) you
should do:
0. Backup all your vital information!
1. Remove the current linux base port.
2. Add to your /etc/make.conf "OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=fc6".
3. Make sure no linux application is running.
4. Set apropriate sysctl (compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16).
5. Install emulation/linux_base-fc6.
5a. Those who use linux ports with automatic plist building should
apply the following patch:
