Quoting Roman Divacky <rdivacky@freebsd.org> (from Tue, 3 Jun 2008 23:25:11 +0200): > hi, > > today I commited a patch that enabled Linux 2.6 emulation on default > in contrast to 2.4 as it was until now. At some point we need a FreeBSD revision bump to be able to determine in the ports if we have a default 2.6.16 or a manual 2.6.16. This can be now, or at some point in the future when you commit some patches to the linuxulator which fix some 2.6 bugs (maybe the ones you specified at the end of your mail). This allows us to switch the default linux_base port upon something else than only the linuxlator version (nothing planned yet, but at least we have the possiblity then). Personally I would try to be on the safe side by bumping the freebsd version now to denote the transition point. If no showstopper bug shows up, we can use this freebsd version value to handle the userland side of the linuxulator, if we stumble upon a showstopper bug, we can bump the freebsd version again.
