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.
The recommended version of FreeBSD to use them is 8-CURRENT.
FreeBSD-7.x is not fully compatible with compat.linux.osrelease
2.6.16. Some syscalls cannot be MFCed due to native FreeBSD
ABI breakage.
Usage (and package building):
1. define compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16;
2. add following variables to /etc/make.conf:
. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8;
. OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f8.

- use fixed plists [1]
- category "linux" added to those ports without it [1]
- update some ports to a recent FC3 one [1]
- remove plists/... for Alpha (there's no support since linux_base-8 for
Alpha anymore)
- don't hardcode version numbers in some plists, use PLIST_SUB instead
(any errors are mine, don't keep them, send them to me)
Regarding linux-ungif I declare a maintainer timeout (one month, Boris tried
to contact the maintainer) and also pull the "sweeping commit"-card (the
port which it uses as some kind of master port can not be used for this
anymore). Besides this, I don't think he will be upset when other people
do the work instead of adding an entry to his TODO list. :-)
This commit brings us just before the switch of the default linux base
port to the fc3 one, modulo some bugs which may appear. So:
Beta testers wanted!
To test:
sed -i.old -e 's:linux-XFree86-libs:linux-xorg-libs:' /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
echo OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=fc3 >> /etc/make.conf
portupgrade -f -o emulators/linux_base-fc3 -f linux_base-8
portupgrade -o x11/linux-xorg-libs linux-XFree86-libs
portupgrade linux-\*
The first two steps are necessary to switch to fc3 as the new default linux
base port, the last 3 steps to upgrade to fc3.
And feel free to send a big "Thank you!" to Boris, he did a lot of the work!
I just provided some hints and answered some questions (besides from
committing all the necessary changes for FC3 and doing some minor
changes+comments/improvements to/of his work), even when he tries to tell
you something else. ;-)
