[upcomming linux_base-fc6] conditional install

[Boris Samorodov]

Hi!


The FC6 port doesn't install with linux.osrelease=2.4.2. Assuming that
FreeBSD supports only two values (2.6.16 is the second one) I use the
following line at the Makefile:
-----
.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>

LINUX_OSRELEASE!=       ${SYSCTL} -n compat.linux.osrelease

.if ${LINUX_OSRELEASE} != "2.6.16"
IGNORE= supported only for compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.16
.endif
----- 

Something similar should be written to pkg-install script for
packages sake. The Porters Handbook says it's not good to use sysctl.
But such approach should be used for all upcomming fc6 ports...

What do you think? Thanks.
