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.

. chase some new package versions;
. add a package with a missing library presented at previous linux_base [1]
ports (libcom_err);
. bump PORTREVISION.
Reported at: emulation@ [1]
Add some directory trees since we still use fc4 infrastucture ports.
Inspirited by the wrong behaviour of "install file1 file2" when file2
should exist and be a directory...
2. Bump PORTREVISION.
3. Fix pkg-descr (FC6 -> FC7).
4. s/@dirrm/@dirrmtry for /compat/linux/proc.
1. Add a check if linuxulator is (kld)loaded. IGNORE otherwise.
Before this commit the port compared compat.linux.osrelease with 2.4.2
and was IGNOREd if those values are equal. In case linuxulator
is *not* loaded, the port proceeded to install, to load linuxulator and
to use... compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2!
The port as is doesn't proceed (without linuxulator loaded or
if compat.linux.osrelease is equal to 2.4.2) even for "make fetch".
Imho that's OK, because it won't let automated tasks to load
unneccessary distros, while a human administrator should know
what to do by hand. ;-)
BTW, I'm not sure but may be it'a be a good idea to use IGNORE
if (FreeBSD) OSVERSION < (say) 700037...
2. Apply the same tests for packages.
3. Bump PORTREVISION.
Enjoy. ;-)
- Use SRPMS on MASTER_SITES just when PACKAGE_BUILDING is set [1]
- Bump PORTREVISION [1]
- Update src distfile as well

port may be used only with 7-CURRENT and compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16.
To use/test the port (along with linux FC4 infrastructure ports) you
should do:
0. Backup all your vital information!
1. Remove the current linux base port.
2. Add to your /etc/make.conf "OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=fc6".
3. Make sure no linux application is running.
4. Set apropriate sysctl (compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16).
5. Install emulation/linux_base-fc6.
5a. Those who use linux ports with automatic plist building should
apply the following patch:
ftp://mail.ipt.ru/pub/FreeBSD/patches/bsd.linux-rpm.mk-autoplist.diff
That should be enough at most circumstances. If you have difficulties,
please be sure to expand item 1 to:
1a. Remove all ports which depends on linux base port.
1b. Remove linux base port.
1c. Clean /compat/linux/ directory.
In case you want to get rid of the port, deinstall it, then return
back compat.linux.osrelease to 2.4.2 (as usual make sure that no
linux application is running) and remove from /etc/make.conf the line
containing the OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT variable.
All questions, reports, suggestions etc. please route to
freebsd-emulation@.
Fedora Core 6 ports (FC6 infrastructure ports) are coming soon... ;-)
This port would not appear without netchild's help.
Thank you, Alexander!

we don't brand linux libraries, but it's more an executable then a library;
- bump PORTREVISION.
Suggested by: netchild
Discussed at: freebsd-emulation
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)
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)
soon:
o some empty linux mtree directories (which will be used by some other
ports) are added;
o PORTREVISION is bumpted.
Approved by: netchild (mentor, implicit)
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).

o bump PORTREVISION for both ports
