freebsd-ports/emulators/linux_base-f9/pkg-descr
Boris Samorodov e122eb1792 Add new port emulators/linux_base-f9.
The port should be used by adding to /etc/make.conf file:
-----
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f9
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f8
-----

For those who want to migrate from linux_base-f8 to this
port portupgrade may be useful:
-----
# portupgrade -o emulators/linux_base-f9 linux_base-f8
-----

The port was tested to build/run with linux -f8- infrastructure
ports at 8-CURRENT:
. linux-opera;
. linux-seamonkey;
. linux-realplayer;
. acroread8.

Skype works but for russian locale it shows squares for cyrillic
letters (just like with linux_base-f8). Seems to be a configuration
fault. Someone with apropriate knowledge should look at the case.

Please, report any regressions/success to emulation@ ML.

Thanks.
Enjoy.

Plaintext

This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of Fedora 9
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.
