But may I suggest that to simplify your patch, you have linux_base > repo copied to linux_base-7? It would simplify the bsd.port.mk change. I agree. But the intend of this patch is to update to v8. It's a first step of several on my TODO list. I don't know when and how I will address all of them, but some of the items on the TODO list are: - move the actual RPM framework from linux-gtk/Makefile to Mk/ - get rid of the old linux_base ports (first: mark DEPRECATED and hope that nobody whines) - update to something never than v8 - fix the USE_X11_PREFIX mess for linux ports in a no-hack way As you can see, the part which would be simplified by a repo copy to linux_base-7 should vanish into the nirvana in the not so distant future (not with this patch). If there's a strong opinion to have the repo copy as an intermediate step, I don't object, but I prefer to proceed without it.
