This is the Linux version of the VMware virtual machine emulator made
to run on FreeBSD using the Linux compatibility mode. VMware can be
used to run Microsoft MS-DOS, Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP/2K3, Linux,
FreeBSD, Netware or any other operating system that runs on the
Intel IA32.

Silyaev, later adapted for VMware 3.x by Orlando Bassotto. Have a

Welcome to the new linux ports infrastructure which allows using
both current (fc4) and future linux (f8) distributions at one
ports tree.
The patch contains full changes to ports/Mk files and all ports involved.
But only infrastructure is changed. The resulting packages are the same as
before. Hence no need to bump PORTREVISIONs.
The idea was taken from bsd.gnome.mk and others.
More than 130 ports are switched to follow a new linux infrastructure
introduced by changes to bsd.port.mk, bsd.linux-rpm.mk and a new
bsd.linux-apps.mk.
Thanks for all who was involved and helped me with this work.
And help from Alexander Leidinger was incredible.
Other changes are coming. Stay tuned!

Unbreak compiling at FreeBSD-7.x. The port seems to work only with
an UP kernel.

[UPDATE]: emulators/vmware3 - Various fixes and solution to crashes.
I've discovered that the instant freezes when clicking
'Power On' can be fixed by disabling APIC support. ACPI
support, on or off, didn't seem to solve anything. I'd like
to know whether or not disabling ACPI has actually helped
anyone at all, as it could be removed from the pkg-message
if not.
I've reflected this in a completely re-worked, step-by-step,
more clear pkg-message file.
I've also added a wrapper script for the vmware wizard,
mentioned it in the pkg-message, and fixed various portlint
complaints.
For some reason, the wizard cannot be launched from within
VMware itself. I have no idea as to what causes this.

With a serious of very ugly hacks, make FreeBSD 6 support work again
for the vmware3 port.
Very little testing done, but at least it builds and starts a VM now.

Mega-patch to cleanup the ports infrastructure regarding our linux bits:
- USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not neccesary anymore to override
STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
- USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
- In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the linux X11 libraries
instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries.
- The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an
item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the
default (or overriden) linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
instead of a hardcoded reference.
- Change all ports to comply to the "new world order".
- The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port.
Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use

Say hello to the linux mega patch, it consolidates our linux bits a
little bit and allows to proceed to a more recent linux_base from
a stable (read as: the major bugs should be ironed out or identified
and most linux ports build just fine) source.
It also allows to ship 4.11 with a working linuxolator (the EOLed
linux_base is marked forbidden because of a security hole).
This is a major update, please read UPDATING (and CHANGES if you
develop linux ports).
Changes:
- change the default linux_base from v7 to v8
- add a newer freetype to linux_base-8 for nicer fonts display [1]
- don't let cpio use hardlinks in the linux_base-8 port to quiet some

Renamed etc/rc.d/vmware.sh into etc/rc.d/001.vmware.sh to make sure
it is started before any other programs which require the vmnet
interface (like isc-dhcp etc)

A slew of changes to allow vmware3 to work on 5.x with dynamic device
numbering while not breaking 4.x compatibility:
- Stop using device nodes in /usr/compat/linux/dev and instead rely
on the linuxaltor passing though to /dev
- Create needed device nodes in /dev (on 4.x)
- Account for a change in falloc's semantics that was preventing
the vmmon module from being unloaded on 5.1+ machines.
Substitute BROKEN with IGNORE in cases where the port requires the src tree
to be present, or does not compile on certain versions of FreeBSD. This
will potentially avoid needless compilations on bento, and has the added
benefit of improving certain reporting tools. To most users, this change
is a no-op.

Patch for FreeBSD 4.x was updated (now Power On always works as expected).
Point to new patch location.
Document sysctl kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed which should be set to 1
in order to run vmware3.
Compensate a versioning mistake with a PORTEPOCH bump, since this port
is previously vmware3-3.2.1 version 2242 instead of vmware3 version
3.2.1-2242 and now it is vmware3 version 3.2.1.2242, which is
obviously and annoyingly smaller than 2242.

Upgrade to portrevision 2242 and make it possible to run
