Description:
This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of Fedora Core Linux 4. 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.

  emulators/linux_base-f10, and emulators/linux_dist-gentoo-stage3.
  While there, remove superfluous -p argument from ${MKDIR}.
- Remove now obsolete check for Linux 2.4 or FreeBSD 6 and lower from
  astro/google-earth.

Rely on bsdtar to autodetermine the format of the distfiles when possible

For a while now bsdtar is able to autotermine compression and archive format.
Let's then use tar directly instead of piping to tar.

Now USE_BZIP2 and USE_XZ only set EXTRACT_SUFX to the right format

Set the expiration date for all ports which depend upon linux_base-fc4 to
the EoL of the last 7.x release. The 7.x branch is the only supported
FreeBSD version not yet at his EoL which needs a linux 2.4 based linuxulator
environment (linux_base-f10 doesn't work there).

I didn't bump the portrevision, this is mostly done as a hint for ports
committers to tell them that at least the emulation@-owned ports need
to stay until then (even the forbidden ones). The dependent ports need to
go at the same time, but are free to be deleted before.

Deprecate md5 in favour of sha256 checksums.  md5 checksums will no longer

1. Add a symlink from /compat/linux/lib/librt.so.1 to
   /compat/linux/usr/lib/librt.so.1. This bug exists only

2. Bump PORTREVISION.

Note: The symlink is created at pkg-install script since the first
run of '/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig -r /compat/linux' seems to remove
the link.

Remove rpm, as we don't provide a compelete linux system (use linux_dist
if you need one). rpm2cpio(.pl)+port (it's easy, there are several examples
in the ports tree) is the FreeBSD way.

Note, rpm didn't work anyway because of missing libs, so no feature is lost
with this patch.

o  remove all empty directories creation from pkg-plist to pkg-install
