freebsd-ports/emulators/linux_base-c6/pkg-descr
Alexander Leidinger bb4ac8066a After repocopy (by marcus@) from linux_base-f10:
Add linux_base-c6 port. This is a linux_base port based upon CentOS 6.
CentOS 6 is supported upstream (so far) until November 30, 2020.

Compared to the port as submitted in the PR, I added most SRC_DISTFILES
and set the maintainer to emulation@ (discussed with the submitter).

Not connected to the ports collection (emulation/Makefile) yet, first I want
to find the missing src RPMs (compat-*, stdc++, ...). The port is committed
anyway, so that people can help with the TODO list (in the Makefile).

WARNING: it is highly experimental to use this port instead of the default
linux_base port. You need to set compat.linux.osrelease to 2.6.18, so watch
out for unimplemented syscalls (most recent 8-stable / 9-stable or -current
is recommended for this).

Plaintext

This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of CentOS 6
Linux. These packages, in conjunction with the linux kernel module,
form the basis of the Linux compatibility environment. It is designed to
provide a nice user experience by using the FreeBSD configuration for
corresponding Linux stuff where possible. Because of this any work which
needs to chroot into the linux base may not work as expected (no fallthrough
to the FreeBSD config possible).
This port is only available for the i386/amd64 architecture (i386/32 bit mode).
If you want to run X11 applications, install the x11/linux-xorg-libs port.
For cross-development this port is not suitable, you should use a linux_dist
port instead in this case.
