CALL FOR TESTERS: graphics/linux-f8-dri and dependent ports

Hello dear emulation@ readers,


I've just committed a new port graphics/linux-f8-dri and all
needed infrastructure changes.

Please, keep in mind that this port is tested only for building/
packaging/removing. No run time test were done since I do not
use apropriate hardware.

Do not install this port directly, it is intended to be installed
as a dependency of a linux application (ex. net/skype). To test
one should edit apropriate port's Makefile (ex. net/skype/Makefile).

To make use of the new linux infrastructure one should add:
-----
"USE_LINUX_APPS=dri"
-----
instead of any of those dependencies:
-----
RUN_DEPENDS=	${LINUXBASE}/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/linux_dri
USE_GL=		linux
-----

Once you have made the above mentioned changes the port will use
apropriate linux dependencies. If you defined OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT
and OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS at /etc/make.conf then the
corresponding port (ex. graphics/linux-f8-dri) will be used.

Please, test ports you are using and get in touch with maintainers
to commit changes to the ports tree.

Enjoy and thanks!


WBR
