freebsd-ports/emulators/linux_base-fc7/pkg-descr
Alexander Leidinger affb190b16 The port is intended to become the new default linux_base port (replaces
the current linux_base-8 port).

You should only switch to this port if you know what you are doing.
You may or may not have problems with installing other linux related
ports after switching to it. Success or failure reports welcome.

To switch:
 - echo "OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=fc3" >> /etc/make.conf
 - portupgrade -fo emulators/linux_base-fc3 linux_base-8

News and changes (from submitter with some small changes by me):
 - based on linux_base-8 port;
 - don't use linux rpm binary to install. The whole source tree is
   created at ${WRKDIR} and then installed (using cpio);
 - removes some files and directories (etc/passwd, etc/group,
   usr/local, ...) to ensure using FreeBSD original files;
 - introduces etc/nsswitch.conf.dist and etc/yp.conf.sample files,
   uses correct install/deinstall behaviour with etc/nsswitch.conf
   and etc/yp.conf files;
 - doesn't do [u]mounting while install/deinstall process.
   Thus it is possible to use jails while building packages.
   But since linprocfs is not automounted, special measures should be
   taken at package building for those ports which need a mounted
   linprocfs (i.e. for linux JDK building);
 - uses linux ldconfig in the pkg-install file (as opposed to using in
   the Makefile). It is needed when upgrading (i.e. when other linux
   libraries are present in the system) and when installing by packages.

This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of Fedora Core
Linux 3.0. These packages, in conjunction with the linux kernel module,
form the basis of the Linux compatibility environment.
This port is only available for the i386/amd64 architecture (i386/32 bit mode).
If you use an Alpha computer, please install the linux_base port instead
of this one.
If you want to run X11 applications, install the x11/linux-XFree86-libs port.
