The following reply was made to PR ports/142837; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Boris Samorodov <bsam@ipt.ru> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org,swhetzel@gmail.com Cc: Subject: Re: ports/142837: [patch] emulators/linux_base-* packages fails to install when linux.ko is not installed Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:54:12 +0300 Scot, thanks for the patch. Really there is no consystency. ;-) However, I'm not sure if the proposed behavior is desirable. I.e. if a port loads kernel module but the system is not configured to do it at next reboot, then a user may got very surprised. Esp. if previous uptime was several months... -- WBR, Boris Samorodov (bsam) Research Engineer, http://www.ipt.ru Telephone & Internet SP FreeBSD Committer, http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve
