It doesn't seem to hurt, and you can run an old program how it was meant to run. Nothing prevents someone to put an old linux FS into FreeBSD and use it there. We just do not want to distribute an old and unsupported by upstream linux_base port. If you use a trusted environment for a specific purpose, it's still possible with FreeBSD to run this e.g. in a jail (and as such have a lightweight virtualization without the need to have driver support inside the old linux version which is used inside). > >> [emulators/linux_base-c6] > >> - - remove the unsupported Linux 2.4.2 case > >> - - new Makefile header > >> - - portlint fixes > > I think the "-p" for makedir was placed there on purpose... can't > > remember what the error-case was which triggered this. > If you remember, could you write it down in the Makefile?
