Since CentOS 6.5 landed in the portstree and was updated to CentOS 6.6 and we've
fixed the remaining issues, it's time to replace Fedora 10 as Linux default --
given that in the past five years it has done its service and has long since
gone EOL upstream.
The CentOS 6 series will go End of Life in 2020, this should give us some time
to keep its annual releases up to date.
If you have not switched to using CentOS 6.6 ports, please refer to today's
UPDATING entry -- it contains detailed instructions.
If you have already switched to CentOS 6.6 userland,
you can now remove the following two lines from make.conf:
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=c6
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=c6
If you encounter any difficulties, please follow the UPDATING entry from
20140922 but skip step 2. In case these steps do not fix the issues,
please submit an issue report in Bugzilla and send an email to FreeBSD's
emulation mailing list.

The Fedora 10 infrastructure ports have been in use since June 2009 and, while
having served a great deed, have become unsupported upstream and hence affected
by unfixed security vulnerabilities. In addition to that, many recent Linux
binaries need newer libc / stdlibc++ versions.
This commit adds the linux-c6- userland as drop-in replacement for the -f10
infrastructure, as well as upgrading the linux_base-c6 port to CentOS 6.5.
If you want to switch to linux-c6 ports, please define at /etc/make.conf:
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=c6
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=c6
Additionally, please add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf:
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18
Upgrading procedures are shown in /usr/ports/UPDATING.
This work has been inspired by Artyom Mirgorodskiy's post to emulation@ in
November 2013, using and extending mav@'s work. It has been tested extensively
and most reported issues were already fixed. Please report any additional bug
or "features" to the emulation mailing list.

Since FreeBSD 8.4 and FreeBSD 9.1 make(1) do support :tu and :tl as a
replacement for :U and :L (which has been marked as deprecated)
bmake which is the default on FreeBSD 10+ only support by default
:tu/:tl a hack has been added at the time to support :U and :L to ease
migration. This hack is now not necessary anymore
Note that this makes the ports tree incompatible with make(1) from
FreeBSD 8.3 or earlier

compat.linux.osrelease is set to 2.6.16. This enables running newer

The default is switched for OSVERSION >= 800076 (when the last known
issue was fixed at the base system). From now the default linux
base port is linux_base-f10. Default linux infrastrucure ports
are linux-f10-*.

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.
Linux Fredora 8 infrastructure ports should be used if:
. sysctl compat.linux.osrelease is 2.6.16;
. linux base port is set to f8 or f9;
. linux infrastructrue is used.
Remove _F8_COMPATIBLE_LINUX_BASE_PORTS for now (it will
be reintroduced later).
Please note, that there is no strict dependency upon OSRELEASE so far.
. add a variable _F8_COMPATIBLE_LINUX_BASE_PORTS, it's a list
of linux base ports compatible (i.e. may be used) with
linux -f8- infrastructure ports;
. define apropriate _LINUX_BASE_SUFFIX;
. let ports with AUTOMATIC_PLIST=yes use the new value;
. add some comments about those changes.
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.

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!

netchild said: "I don't think it will hurt if the fix for fc6 is committed.
There are users out there which already use the experimental 2.6.16 support,
and it would make their life easier."
