What Boris is trying to say is: it is a hard fact that everything =20
before RELENG_7/HEAD only runs with 2.4.2. You can try to set it so =20
something else, but it will not really work. 2.4.20 is 2.4+TLS. TLS in =20
the linuxulator is only available in RELENG_7 and HEAD. FC6 and F7 =20
depend upon TLS, so those are only usable on RELENG_7 and HEAD.

If you use anything else than 2.4.2 and FC4 on RELENG_6 you do =20
something wrong.

Beech, I haven't looked at the Skype 1.4 port, but it has to be marked =20
as for RELENG_7 or later only. You can use USE_LINUX=3Dfc6 (or f7) in =20
it, but I suggest to use a pre-everything:: target to print a message =20
that the _experimental_ setting compat.linux.osrelease=3D2.6.16 has to =20
be used and that the users shall read the UPDATING entry for the date =20
20070327.

Bye,
Alexander.
