plus linux_base-debian-3.0.23_1
>Description:
If a port specifies USE_LINUX=yes, indicating that it requires Linux
binary compatibility, the ports framework checks for redhat-release:
(from /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk):
.if defined(USE_LINUX)
RUN_DEPENDS+= ${LINUXBASE}/etc/redhat-release:${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base
.endif
>How-To-Repeat:
Install any port that requires Linux support, on a system that has
a linux_base other than the RedHat ones.
>Fix:
Change the relevant line in Mk/bsd.port.mk to read:
RUN_DEPENDS+= ${LINUXBASE}/bin/sh:${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base
bin/sh is the best option I could come up with, another file that
is certain to exist with all of the linux_base ports would do just
fine as well.
