(Sorry, no idea what else...) "The ports collection does not support linux ports on your FreeBSD version anymore, please update to a supported version (see http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/)." > I have attached some *untested* patches for Mk/ , feel free to > comment. As one is for bsd.port.mk, they must go through portmgr. bsd.linux-apps.mk looks ok. bsd.linux-rpm.mk: the indent of the if/else is wrong now. For representing what you want to do the patch looks OK, but the real commit should fix the indent (up to portmgr if in one commit or two). bsd.port.mk looks ok.
