If I set that it appears the ports framework will ignore MASTER_SITES. Should I dig into the MK framework to see how to change the repository or should I use the .tar.xz distribution instead? :(. I'm not sure. But would having a look at the way emulators/linux_base-c(6|7) provide some clues? Not really but I think I found something in Mk/Uses/linux.mk <http://linux.mk>: For the case of USE_LINUX_RPM it is supposed to not do anything when MASTER_SITES is defined but it is somewhat messy, and somehow it always uses ${MASTER_SITE_CENTOS_LINUX}. Any port that uses RPM but not the Centos repositories? Just a thought, and hope it helps! Thanks, I just have to keep digging :(.

Well ... of course if I had the source code I would not be dealing RPMs for the linuxulator.
Software can be free but not include source code. It can still be desirable for FreeBSD.
The main reason for that is you can port your way into a corner that relies on very Linux specific stuff that there's just no solution for yet nor will there be one unless you port the entire Linux kernel to FreeBSD.
Which is why we have a linuxulator. Pedro. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
