What is BASEVERSION=9 at linux-* ports

Wed Nov 9 02:51:07 PST 2005

Hi!

Some linux-* ports use BASEVERSION=9 at Makefiles. However:

$ grep BASEVERSION /usr/ports/Mk
$

Searching the archieves for "baseversion" gave me only one link...
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=102278+107456+/usr/local/www/db/text/2005/freebsd-emulation/20051030.freebsd-emulation

...with suggestion to delete this variable.

Where am I to get more info for the topic?
