An: Da Rock Quoting Da Rock (from Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:43:49 +1000): > What is the consensus on the LTS linux distro to update the fedora > 10 ports? Or at all? There is no consensus, as there was no discussion. If you want to discuss it here, I put up the following hard requirements: - one which works with the linuxulator in 8/9 (no inotify, no epoll, something else?)... no idea which one fits here, so be tested (make a linux installation, copy the data to a FreeBSD system, chroot into this directory, and run as much programs as possible) - one which is known to be supported for a long time My personal suggestion is one which is RPM based, to be able to use the existing linuxulator-ports-framework. Basically this means probably CentOS, but I do not know another one. :) If someone wants to take a debian or whatever based distro, that's OK too, but in this case the person discards some years of development work of the existing framework (it's maybe not perfect, but it was created during a lot of man-weeks) and is forced to re-learn everything from scratch. He should also discuss design-decissions here and be prepared for a steep learning curve. The one who does the work is in command. I will not object to something which works and provides a similar seamless (or better) integration into FreeBSD to what Boris and I did with the current ports. > I know Alexander has a page on howto do a linux-base port > (theoretically)- hence the query... It's not only the work for a linux_base port, the infrastructure ports have to be updated at the same time: http://www.leidinger.net/blog/2011/08/29/howto-create-a-new-linux_base-port/ http://www.leidinger.net/blog/2011/09/01/howto-add-linux-infrastructure-ports-for-a-new-linux_base-port/ Bye, Alexander. -- There's one consolation about matrimony.
