AFFECTS: users of linux Fedora 8 infrastructure ports
AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org
ATTENTION! Those ports are not default for any version of FreeBSD for now
and may be used with FreeBSD versions 7.2 and above (8-CURRENT is better)
using compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 and linux_base-f8. Please, note that
2.6.16 is not fully supported on 7.x (ex., some syscalls are missing
and cannot be MFCed due to a native FreeBSD ABI breakage).
For more information about transition please read item "20070327: AFFECTS:
users of emulators/linux_base-fc6". That note may be used for upgrading
to linux_base-f8 and linux Fedora 8 infrastructure ports as well.
If you want to switch to linux-f8 ports, please define at /etc/make.conf:
USE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8
USE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f8
