This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of Fedora Core
Linux 4. 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.
- Finish removal of support for Linux 2.4 in bsd.linux-apps.mk and
bsd.linux-rpm.mk. The default linux version is now Fedora 10.
- Remove now obsolete checks for Linux 2.4 in emulators/linux_base-c6,
emulators/linux_base-f10, and emulators/linux_dist-gentoo-stage3.
While there, remove superfluous -p argument from ${MKDIR}.
- Remove now obsolete check for Linux 2.4 or FreeBSD 6 and lower from
astro/google-earth.
- Remove expired Fedora Core 4 ports which were only used on FreeBSD 7
and below.
- Update LEGAL and MOVED

Rely on bsdtar to autodetermine the format of the distfiles when possible
For a while now bsdtar is able to autotermine compression and archive format.
Let's then use tar directly instead of piping to tar.
Now USE_BZIP2 and USE_XZ only set EXTRACT_SUFX to the right format
Set the expiration date for all ports which depend upon linux_base-fc4 to
the EoL of the last 7.x release. The 7.x branch is the only supported
FreeBSD version not yet at his EoL which needs a linux 2.4 based linuxulator
environment (linux_base-f10 doesn't work there).
I didn't bump the portrevision, this is mostly done as a hint for ports
committers to tell them that at least the emulation@-owned ports need
to stay until then (even the forbidden ones). The dependent ports need to
go at the same time, but are free to be deleted before.

Deprecate md5 in favour of sha256 checksums. md5 checksums will no longer
be generated or checked, and will be silently ignored for now. Also,
generalize the MD5_FILE macro to DISTINFO_FILO.

Remove /compat/linux/media from linux_base ports since the native
FreeBSD /media can not be accessed by a linux application.
PR: ports/138169
Submitted by: Martin Laabs <info at martinlaabs.de>
In preparation for adding new linux (Fedora 8) infrastructure ports all linux
base ports were unified. Now it's linux_base-fc4 turn: devel/linux-glib2
is incorporated.
Changes:
* emulation/linux_base-fc4:
. devel/linux-glib2 is incorporated;
. CONFLICTS is fixed;
. PORTREVISION is bumped;
* removed *_DEPENDS upon devel/linux-glib2 and PORTREVISION bumped:
. accessibility/linux-atk;
. astro/google-earth;
. audio/linux-openal;
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
1. Create a hard link since a soft link happened to be insufficient [1]
(got deleted at the next ldconfig call).
2. Now it may be placed at the Makefile.
3. Bump PORTREVISION.

1. Add a symlink from /compat/linux/lib/librt.so.1 to
/compat/linux/usr/lib/librt.so.1. This bug exists only
at linux_base-fc4 _and_ osrelease=2.4.2.
2. Bump PORTREVISION.
Note: The symlink is created at pkg-install script since the first
run of '/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig -r /compat/linux' seems to remove
the link.

This is not really a bug of linux compat, but is because of the
following:
1. opening /path/to/somefile under linux compat first tries
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
. add CONFLICTS;
. add a script LINUXBASE/usr/bin/lp to allow some programs (e.g. Acrobat
Reader) to print with default settings, MF-f8;
. deal (add and remove when necessary) with some share empty directories;
. bump PORTREVISION.
Remove rpm, as we don't provide a compelete linux system (use linux_dist
if you need one). rpm2cpio(.pl)+port (it's easy, there are several examples
in the ports tree) is the FreeBSD way.
Note, rpm didn't work anyway because of missing libs, so no feature is lost
with this patch.

XXX: fc6 needs a similar fix
Polish pkg-descr and pkg-message:
. add comments and warnings about problems with chroot into the linux base; [1]
. delete a note about linux port for alpha; [1]
. add an advice to use linux_dist ports for cross-development; [1]
. fix the link linux-XFree86-libs -> linux-xorg-libs.

CONFLICTS variable. Give happy users just another chance to
update their systems.

- brandelf -t Linux /compat/linux/lib/ld-2.3.6.so (ld-linux.so.2),
we don't brand linux libraries, but it's more an executable then a library;
- bump PORTREVISION.

o update compat-db package to the latest (4.2.52-3.fc4)
available for FC4, changes:
libdb_cxx-4.1.so and libdb_cxx-4.2.so are added;
o bump PORTREVISION;
o some polishing: sort DISTFILES by name and same changes to distinfo.
Approved by: netchild (mentor, implicit)
Fix using "portupgrade -s" with this port:
o chmod u+w ${WRKSRC}/usr/bin/*db4* (before brandelf)
o reverse permittions after branding.

Prepare for linux infrostructure ports transition from FC3 to FC4:
o move dealing with linux locale files (creating empty ones) for
other linux ports to linux_base-fc4;
o remove all empty directories creation from pkg-plist to pkg-install
(which is executed when installing from ports tree and thus not only
installing from a package will create empty directories);
o substitute all @dirrmtry by @dirrm -- from package building point
of view this package (linux_base) should be removed after all other
linux ports. (approved in principle by mentor)
Approved by: netchild (mentor, implicit)
The upgrading of linux infrostructure ports from FC3 to FC4 is coming
soon:
o some empty linux mtree directories (which will be used by some other
ports) are added;
o PORTREVISION is bumpted.

o unbreak i386-6-exp build of graphics/linux-sdl_image: remove [1]
LINUX_BASE/usr/doc dealing from devel/linux-sdl12
to emulators/linux_base-fc4 -- this directory belongs to the
linux mtree;
o bump PORTREVISION for both ports;
o update emulators/linux_base-fc4 distribution to info-4.8-8.fc4.2
(previous one is not fetchable now).

First do "brandelf -t Linux" at WRKSRC and then do install. This
makes impossible to shoot oneself to the foot if PREFIX is set to
/usr/local.
