I don't follow - what is the problem?

An FC6 port can't be build (and more specific -- linux-fc6 ldconfig
doesn't run) with current default compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2. So
this sysctl should be changed to 2.6.16 for package building sake.
When the default compat.linux.osrelease will be switched to 2.6.16 we
will get the other way round problem if we try to build and FC4 port.

I don't like the status quo and want to find a way to siplify it.

It's not only a ldconfig problem, it's a generic problem. The gtk ports run plugin detection programs (gtk-query-immodules-2.0-32 and gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-32) at installation time.

Do you think it is a problem when the non-default linux port is not available as a package? Currently I don't think it is a big problem (you can check the value of the sysctl and IGNORE if it is not ok).

When we switch the default, it will be a problem for those releases which we still support but which have not the "good" default value for the linux emulation (AFAIK pointyhat is running -current with some jails for RELENG_x builds). One workaround would be that portmgr sets the right value in the jail for the package build for the corresponding release. This would be the cleanest solution, as all linux ports are then build in the right environment and we don't have to add magic code to every linux port (or bsd.port.mk).

Kris, your opinion?

Bye,
Alexander.
