Modified files: (Branch: RELENG_6) sys/modules Makefile sys/alpha/conf NOTES Log: Disable the module building of the linux bits on alpha and remove them from the corresponding NOTES. [1] There's no corresponding linux_base in the Ports Collection since years, and no linux distribution which is up-to-date and suitable (security, widespread, ...) for us. The only complain regarding linux & alpha we got so far is that the linuxulator doesn't build anymore. This complaint came from wilko -- the alhpa-part of re@ -- only. As the alpha platform is dead (no support from the manufacturer / linux distributions) and deprecated (removed in -current) it was decided to disable the linux bits from the build instead of trying to fix the problems on alpha. The alpha parts in the source are not removed so far, in case there are 1-2 people which actually still make use of this and are interested to use the linuxulator (and fix the problems). Additionally this prevents regressions on i386/amd64 when removing the alpha bits in shared code (the people which care about those code parts don't have enough time ATM to do extensive testing). This decission may be revisited at a later point in time.
