Note: the patch has been updated from the > version first uploaded. Hi, for the linux ports the SRC part looks OK (not tested). For the ifndef part (linux ports)... this introduces the possibility to let the user specify LINUX_OSRELEASE somewhere. And this would override what would be set in the makefile. The result of this would be that the user could spoof a version which is different from what is available. In case of the "is the linuxulator in the kernel"-test, it would cause a failure of the build/install of the port if the user has a value set. This could open up a new case of error cases in the support mails. If you have a strong argument for this change, I do not object to it, but if you do not have a strong argument, I would prefer to not get this change.
