I agree that these are rather complete distributions than just linux_base ports. It would be nice to indicate that somehow, but I'd prefer keeping the opportunity to install them into ${LINUXBASE} as I find them very useful as a linux_base as well. For an example, we can get everything from gentoo portage. I know we have a lot of ports, but portage may contain something that ports doesn't and vica versa. So, we are able to use portages, but chrooting to the environment is not necessary, we can jsut start something from the host system that are installed in the gentoo environment, as if it were a linux-* port from our ports collection. My idea is to repocopy and rename these ports like: emulators/linux_base-gentoo-stage1 -> emulators/linux_dist-gentoo-stage1 This introduces a new group of ports (linux_dist*) that are complete linux environment for cross-development, etc. At the same time a WITH_LINUXBASE macro should be added for installing them into ${LINUXBASE} and this requires a conditional CONFLICTS with another linux_base ports. If this has been accomplished, I also want to add then three metaports as emulators/linux_base-gentoo-stage[123] for the old functionality, this would install the ports with WITH_LINUXBASE set, but these metaports can be set DEPRECATED without an EXPIRATION_DATE to just note that the use of these are discouraged. Ideas and opinions from the lists are welcome! Cheers, Gabor Kovesdan --------------070404090009080007090704--
