Quoting Roman Divacky <rdivacky@freebsd.org> (from Tue, 3 Jun 2008 =20 23:25:11 +0200): > hi, > > today I commited a patch that enabled Linux 2.6 emulation on default > in contrast to 2.4 as it was until now. At some point we need a FreeBSD revision bump to be able to determine =20 in the ports if we have a default 2.6.16 or a manual 2.6.16. This can =20 be now, or at some point in the future when you commit some patches to =20 the linuxulator which fix some 2.6 bugs (maybe the ones you specified =20 at the end of your mail). This allows us to switch the default linux_base port upon something =20 else than only the linuxlator version (nothing planned yet, but at =20 least we have the possiblity then). Personally I would try to be on the safe side by bumping the freebsd =20 version now to denote the transition point. If no showstopper bug =20 shows up, we can use this freebsd version value to handle the userland =20 side of the linuxulator, if we stumble upon a showstopper bug, we can =20 bump the freebsd version again.
