+
+ ATTENTION! Those ports are not default for any version of FreeBSD for now
+ and may be used with FreeBSD versions 7.2 and above (8-CURRENT is better)
+ using compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 and linux_base-f8. Please, note that
+ 2.6.16 is not fully supported on 7.x (ex., some syscalls are missing
+ and cannot be MFCed due to a native FreeBSD ABI breakage).
+
+ For more information about transition please read item "20070327: AFFECTS:
+ users of emulators/linux_base-fc6". That note may be used for upgrading
+ to linux_base-f8 and linux Fedora 8 infrastructure ports as well.
+
+ If you want to switch to linux-f8 ports, please define at /etc/make.conf:
+ USE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8
+ USE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f8
