freebsd-ports/emulators/linux_base-f10/pkg-descr

This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of Fedora 10
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).
Here are new Linux Fedora 10 infrastructure ports. Those ports are intended to be used with 8-CURRENT at least with SVN r192206. If you want to switch to linux-f10 ports, please define at /etc/make.conf: OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10 OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10 An upgrading procedure is shown at /usr/ports/UPDATING, entries 20090401 and 20070327. For the first time all tested linux ports work as expected(!): . acroread8; . google-earth; . skype; . seamonkey. Many thanks for kernel folks who really did the main work (and I wrote only some lines of ports). There is a good chance that those ports may become a default for 8.0-RELEASE. Please, test and report back to emulation@ ML. 2009-06-01 19:26:31 +02:00			`This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of Fedora 10`
