CALL FOR TESTERS: linux-f8 infrastructure ports

[Boris Samorodov]

Hello List,


here it is: ftp://ftp.ipt.ru/pub/FreeBSD/linux-f8/test-f8.tar.bz2

Though this is a first version to test it works for me and my
tibderbox just fine. Instructions for testing are simple:
-----
# tar xyf test-f8.tar.bz2
# cd test-f8
# install [<your_ports_dir>]
-----

The last command will install new ports and files to <your_ports_dir>
(/usr/ports by default) and patch some Mk files (bsd.ports.mk,
bsd.linux-rpm.mk). There is a command to revert installing:
-----
# uninstall [<your_ports_dir>]
-----

For those who wish only to view changes here is a patch for
bsd.ports.mk, bsd.linux-rpm.mk):
ftp://ftp.ipt.ru/pub/FreeBSD/linux-f8/Mk.diff.txt

and a new file:
ftp://ftp.ipt.ru/pub/FreeBSD/linux-f8/bsd.linux-apps.mk.txt

How it works. Automagically. ;-)
One should define OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8 at /etc/make.conf
and change an application makefile to use the new stuff. Only one
change is needed: replace all strict RUN_DEPENDS on linux
infrastructure ports to USE_LINUX_APPS knob (if a port has
USE_X11, replace it with UAE_LINUX_APPS=xorglibs). For the list
of available components please look at bsd.linux-apps.mk.

Here is an example. For those mozilla ports one should do:

Notes:
1. For linux-hicolor-icon-theme I created a component but it will be
   deleted as this port is not an infrastructure port from Fedora
   distribution.
2. Please, beware that ports and components do not have same names.
   E.g. linux-f8-xorg-libs (a port) vs xorglibs (a component).
3. devel/linux-glib2 (a port) does not need to be presented as
   a component since it is a part of linux_base-f8 port.

Known bugs:
. linux-aspell port is only a skeleton port;
. upgrading tools (portupgrade, portmaster) will not understand
  if an fc4 or f8 port is installed for those ports which has
  the same files (library versions). I'd recommend full uninstall
  of linux infrastructure ports to receive strict results.

To revert back to using a default linux_base port you should delete
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT variable from /etc/make.conf (and a full
uninstall of linux infrastructure ports is recommended).

Thanks for your patience. ;-)
