Description Gabor Kovesdan freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2009-06-03 19:10:01 UTC 
So far we haven't had a unified support for dealing with cases where a specific
version of Linux emulation is necessary.  We have the same for GCC versions or
Perl version but not for Linux emulation, so I thought it would be useful to
add similar knobs to the Ports Collection infrastructure.  Also, the current
IGNORE reasons that ports give, don't seem quite clear to our users, I got a
PR for my Gentoo port because a user couldn't understand the actual problem.
This is another reason I thought of unifying this part.

Responsible Changed
From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->portmgr

bsd.port.mk is portmgr territory (via the GNATS Auto Assign Tool)

Ping? I still think it would be a nice feature.

Infrastructure PR.

I'm not sure it's worth the effort.  Given currently reported version of 3.2.0, are there any packages which depend on it being set to some other value?
Comment 5 Edward Tomasz Napierala freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-03-11 19:21:02 UTC 
Not sure what was the original motivation, back in 2009, but I'm not aware of any software that depends on a particular kernel version other than the latest supported.
