steam-utils runs fine with linux-rl9 now

[rhurlin]

Since linux-rl9 was extended with 32bit functionality with commit 7dbd23b9e860 (thanks to fluffy), steam-utils also runs with it. As far as I can tell, everything works as usual under rl9 :D

Wouldn't it be time to switch from linux-c7 to linux-rl9 now? On FreeBSD, more and more other Linux applications are now running (better) under rl9. Unfortunately, it is not possible to install c7 and rl9 at the same time.

Corresponding changes in the steam-utils code would probably have to be made above all in the Makefile and in REAME.md?

is already out a new pkg (or port) linux_nvidia-libs for rl9?

Yes, readme.

If you change your port make.conf to have DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= linux=rl9, then it will build linux-steam-utils using rl9, so I don't see what need to be done here.

Again, there is no code to change, it is a matter of telling the port framework to use rl9 instead of c7 for building linux packages

For what it is worth, I can confirm that Steam works (apparently flawlessly) with DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=linux=rl9 and no trace of CentOS 7. I am on 14-STABLE (commit 30bcbf8a2fefe81e28bd9e293d9ee970464b0da4 at the time of writing).
