We'd like to thanks for all the feedback and comments.
64 bit linuxulator support (not activated by default):
- most of the work was done by Alan Jude
- all errors are mine
- 64bit (may) have rough edges
- I validated
* that the 32bit part doesn't has deinstall regressions (incl. EXP runs by
antoine)
* 29 of 72 64bit ports ports don't have deinstall leftovers (more validation
later, when I dare to activate the 64bit linuxulator in the kernel)
- the infrastructure part looks mature enough to let more test-bunnies get
some experience with the new 64 bit parts
- to use it you shall have no linux ports installed and have to specify
(on your own risk) the following in make.conf before installing the ports:
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=c6_64
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=c6_64
This is on top of the exiting c6 linux ports. Given that CentOS 7 is 64bits
only, we decided to have it as an "overlay" instead of new ports.
The 64bit part only installs 64bit executables, the 32bit ports can not be
installed at the same time (if needed we can think of letting the 64bit
overlay install the 32bit parts too, but given the CentOS 7 comment
above...).

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.
Many thanks to: mav@, rene@, allanjude@, netchild@, antoine@, everyone who's
