I'm not sure removing the dependency on any linux_base is the right
thing to do. Additionally I think we shouldn't support more than one
linux_base. It's fine if it works with more than one linux_base, but we
can't guarantee it.
My suggestion is: let it depend upon the default linux_base by default
(my patchset takes care of this). After 4.11 is out the door, let's
update the default linux_base to a recent one, remove all
obsolete/outdated/forbidden linux_base ports, get everything into good
shape and think about how to allow non-default linux_base ports to work
with everything (e.g. a patch for bsd.port.mk which modifies the
USE_LINUX code to use an already installed linux_base (with a warning
that we don't guarantee anything) or to install a predefined one, like
we did with the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM part of bsd.port.mk).
Bye,
Alexander.
