Description:

This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of Red Hat Linux 8.0. These packages, in conjunction with the linux module, form the basis of the Linux compatibility environment. This port is only available for the i386/amd64 architecture. 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.

Move the dirrm of usr to a more appropriate place and convert it to
a dirrmtry since usr/local may be populated by the user.

Noticed by:     pointyhat/kris

Use the new dirrmtry in the plist to remove the LINUXBASE/usr/local/*
dirs if empty, but without anoying messages if someone decides to
install some files by hand there.

Noticed by:     pointyhat/kris

The read-only LINUXBASE case (after installing the ports, of course) has
to besolved differently, since the ldconfig call has to be chrooted, else
the linux ldconfig will cache some FreeBSD native libs which results in
not being able to start some programs:
 - remove the symlink (linux_base)
 - revert to chroot the ldconfig call (with internal functionality this
   time)

unbreak fetch (revert master site change, it is a local change)

 - use MASTER_SITE_READHAT_LINUX now that fedoralegacy is added there
 - pet portlint a little bit
 - don't create LINUXBASE/var/run, to let linux apps access /var/run
 - link LINUXBASE/etc/ld.so.cache to /var/run/linux-ld.so.cache on a
   recent -current (where /etc/rc.d/abi knows how to handle the symlink);
   this should allow a read-only LINUXBASE
 - don't remove LINUXBASE/usr/local, someone may have installed something
   there

- A better way to trick rpm to create etc/nsswitch.conf.dist

  by rpm, but we use --noscripts here
- Portlint

BROKEN on amd64: Incorrect pkg-plist

- reformat the pkg-message
- don't generate the plist at install time, use a static plist instead
  (this fixes the empty plist after the change to pre-su-install) [1]
- brand _every_ ELF executable in {,usr/}{,s}bin/
  (short command line, should be used by other linux ports with a lot of
  files too; contrary to the commit messages of some linux ports: brandelf
  is usefull and doesn't result in foot-shooting in edge cases)

Change description to include amd64 instead of telling to only support x86.

Suggested by:   Torfinn Ingolfsen <torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no>

Mega-patch to cleanup the ports infrastructure regarding our linux bits:
  - USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
    tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not neccesary anymore to override
    STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
  - USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
  - In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the linux X11 libraries
    instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries.
  - The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an
    item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the
    default (or overriden) linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
    instead of a hardcoded reference.
  - Change all ports to comply to the "new world order".
  - The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port.
    Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use
    ${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use

Remove expired linux_base-6 port.

Don't error out when the user defines USE_LINUX (See PR 69997 and
bsd.port.mk 1.505).

GC EXTRACT_DEPENDS (now done as a BUILD_DEPENDS).

Add rpm to build depends to fix the build on the cluster.

Suggested by:   kris

Minimal changes to let users update the linux base and the linux X11 bits
in any order:
 - add the X11 lib path to ld.so.conf in the linux base port
 - (re)generate the ld.so.cache file in the linux base port too
 - don't change the ld.so.conf in the linux X11 port

At deinstall time the linux base port may still complain about a changed
ld.so.cache file. A clean way to solve this would be to use ("@unexec" and
"@exec") in the plist. Since the plist is autogenerated this would need
some little magic in the plist generation or we have to switch to a static
plist. Delay the decission about how to handle this until we know when/how
to update to a more recent linux base port.

Get the PLIST generation out of do-install and into pre-instal.

Follow the porter's handbook and allow 'make all' to be run by a moral user.

Remove bogus do-patch: target.
Bump PORTREVISION for the move to freetype-2.1.5-0.
Properly spell gentoo.

Say hello to the linux mega patch, it consolidates our linux bits a
little bit and allows to proceed to a more recent linux_base from
a stable (read as: the major bugs should be ironed out or identified
and most linux ports build just fine) source.

It also allows to ship 4.11 with a working linuxolator (the EOLed
linux_base is marked forbidden because of a security hole).

This is a major update, please read UPDATING (and CHANGES if you
develop linux ports).

Changes:
 - change the default linux_base from v7 to v8
 - add a newer freetype to linux_base-8 for nicer fonts display [1]
 - don't let cpio use hardlinks in the linux_base-8 port to quiet some

Remove some lines that are no longer needed.

Correct a mistake in my grouping of master site subdirectories.

Simplify by grouping master site subdirectories.

Clean up amd64 support by consolidating tests.  Code after bsd.port.mk
was not reached.

On amd64 we want to use FALLBACK_ELF_MIB as kern.elf32.fallback_brand,
vs. kern.fallback_elf_brand.

First cut at supporting AMD64 (to give 32-bit support).

Try to mount and unmount both linproc and linprocfs:  the former
is documented in linprocfs(5) but I have seen and used the latter.

Add sizes.

Fix CONFLICTS lines, as requested by eik then petef:

        I think it's a bug that linux_base thinks it conflicts with itself.

--petef

        The problem occurs if you do
          make install; make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes
        which is somewhat supported, although [seldom] (never?) used.

--eik

Also record conflicts with cle_base.

Bump PORTREVISION on all ports that depend on gettext to aid with upgrading.

Remove the XFree86-libs RPM from here (see ports/x11/linux-XFree86-libs).

I don't see any use for the /compat/linux/initrd directory.
