Bug 192404

Comment 1 Sean Bruno 2014-08-05 17:51:03 UTC

Created attachment 145399 [details]
Complete and suggested patch to ports tree based on xmj's work

For an exp run, the compat.linux.osrelease needs to be bumped to 2.6.18, this is a runtime configureable tuneable, so feel free to modify the build jail to do this:

compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.16

compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.18

I have no idea if any of this works at all as I cannot reliably test builds in redports with this patch. 

This patch applies cleanly to ports head at svn revision 364125

Take a look as reference this thread posted in the FreeBSD Forums:

It was time to commit this update into the ports tree :)

I think this may be required once this hits the tree:

Index: sys/compat/linux/linux_mib.c

Yes, with this change we don't need anymore tweak 'compat.linux.osrelease' in /etc/sysctl.conf

is this really "ports tree" product?  seems like base to me.  Do one of you want to reclassify this PR?

Yes, we are talking about the full Lin­ux­u­la­tor infra­struc­ture based upon CentOS 6.5 for the ports collection which has some more ports around a linux_base port. 

Anyway, I have no permission to modify it :)

No, IMO.

Only a very small part (2.6.16 -> 2.6.18) seems to be directly applicable to src.  

The zipped patch file is quite huge and applies almost exclusively to the ports tree.

Comment 8 John Marino 2014-08-06 06:19:49 UTC

How do you propose a ports committer make the src change?  The majority don't have permission to commit to src.

At the least you are looking at a second PR for src that blocks this one.

Comment 9 John Marino 2014-08-06 06:30:04 UTC

actually it seems that the src part is blocked by the first part and it doesn't seem strictly mandatory.

Comment 10 John Marino 2014-08-06 15:17:03 UTC

Bryan,
Sean told me via IRC to assign this to you.  He can take care of the src part.  I'm bowing out now.

Comment 11 Sean Bruno 2014-09-18 15:34:03 UTC

Marking this as resolved for now as we have a much more better version of this patch in the queue to be committed by someone who is not me.  :-)
