HEADUP: an new emulation/linux_base-f9 port is committed

[Boris Samorodov]

Hello List,


I've just committed a new emulation/linux_base-f9 port. A commit
log says all about it:
=====
Add new port emulators/linux_base-f9.

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.

=====

Big thank you should be said to Steven Hartland who did the
majority of the work and submitted a PR. Sorry, it has taken
a long time to commit the PR (infrasturcture ports changes
should be committed first).

Changes to the PR:
. some packages were upgraded;
. fix plist and distinfo;
. change MAINTAINER to emulation@ since this is a vital port
  in linux infrastructure ports.
