This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of Fedora 8
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.

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

. add linux-glib2 to CONFLICTS;
. add a source package for the case of PACKAGE_BUILDING;
. bump PORTREVISION.
To couple with Linux Fedora 8 packages changes after intrusion
to Red Hat's servers:
. new DIST_SUBDIR is used;
. new distinfo.i386;
. bump PORTREVISION.

Add keyutils-libs which are needed at least for libkrb5. Now flash9
should work at -current (with some kernel patches for now).
Bump PORTREVISION.

. fix directories for current packages (they have a ".newkey" suffix);
. chase some new package versions;
. add a package with a missing library presented at previous linux_base [1]
ports (libcom_err);
. bump PORTREVISION.

1. Add glib-1.2 package to linux_base-f8. Some linux ports (at least
emulators/linux-ePSXe) still use it.
2. Bump PORTREVISION.
Reported by: Naram Qashat <cyberbotx at cyberbotx.com> at emulation@
Remove all traces of LINUXBASE/etc/fonts from the port. This is needed to use
native
FreeBSD fonts and font configuration files (a link to a native directory will be
created when an apropriate linux-fontconfig port is installed).
. add a script LINUXBASE/usr/bin/lp which let some linux applications [1]
(most notable acroread) to print with default settings;
. add linux_base-f7 to CONFLICTS;
. bump PORTREVISION.
