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.

- Plist parser do not accept modes like o+w g+s u+r
- @owner/@group with no argument reset the default ownership to root/wheel
- Plug regression tests into the release mechanism as mandatory
- Allow url in repository configuration to be overriden by another configuration
file
- If one of -P, -I or -R is not explicitly given on the command line do not emit
error messages while searching for a mechanism to find data about the latest
available ports.
- External keywords can now take arguments
- Directories under PREFIX are automatically handled and removed if needed
- MTREE are not packaged anymore neither extracted on final installation
- OS major checking (to determine if pkg is running on an upgraded base system)
uses the same mechanism as ABI detection instead of relying on UNAME_r which
can have false positivie on jails
- Add @dir keyword for plist which is used to package explicitly directories
(directories with non root/wheel or outside prefix) and empty directories
(@dirrm and @dirrmtry are now considered as deprecated)
- root/wheel are now considered as the default user/group when creating a
package except @owner/@group are used to change that behaviour
- Import newer version of libucl which improves error messages in case of
problem parsing manifest or configuration files
- Fix pkg register so it checks for conflicts before actually copying files on
to the filesystem
- pkg now support a new no_provide_lib annotation to preventing automatic
populating of provided libs (useful for packages bundling libraries like wine)
- Improve documentations
- Ability to select usage of IPv4/IPv6 via config, repository config or command
line
- Lots of bug fixes
Side effects:
- Convert to install-mtree target into a no-op target Add empty directories to
plist of ports that needs them to run:
- share/aclocal to devel/automake and devel/automake14
- share/applications to devel/desktop-file-utils
- share/xml share/sgml to textproc/xmlcatmgr
- Prevent check-plist to issue warnings about some @dir*
- Adjist check_leftovers.sh to not take in account anything related to mtree
- Bump the default required version of pkg to 1.3.8
