This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of Fedora 7
Linux. 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.

(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
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.

At the previous commit to emulators/linux_base-f7 and
emulators/linux_base-f9 PORTREVISIONs should have been
bumped but actually PORTVERSIONs had been, so:
. restore PORTVERSIONs;
. bump PORTREVISION and PORTEPOCH.

Remove /compat/linux/media from linux_base ports since the native
FreeBSD /media can not be accessed by a linux application.
