The ports framework's Linux emulation stack was upgraded to + include CentOS 6.6 on November 11. After smoothing out + several bugs that had been introduced, we have been able to bump + the default version of the Linux userland from Fedora 10 to + CentOS 6.6 on December 9. Providing a more + modern Linux userland and supporting libraries allows a great + number of Linux applications to be run on &os;. The goal + behind providing an updated Fedora-based userland is to support + more desktop-oriented applications, which require newer libraries + than are provided by CentOS 6. Providing 64-bit versions of + the CentOS userland will allow applications that are only + available in 64-bit form, such as a number of scientific and math + related applications, to be run on &os;. Support for 64-bit + binaries also requires the 64-bit Linux kernel emulation layer + from the lemul branch, which requires more testing and review + before being merged into HEAD.

Update Allan Jude's 64-bit Linux ports to CentOS 6.6.

+ + + +

Add Fedora 20 base/userland ports to ports/head.

+ + + +

Refactor Mk/bsd.linux-*.mk to facilitate above additions.

Promote testing and merging of Dmitry Chagin's lemul branch. + (Updated Linux kernel emulation, and 64-bit support)
