<p>The &os; emulation team has done extensive work on polishing
&os;'s Linux emulation layer. After more than a year and a
half, Dmitry Chagin's changes to the Linux binary emulation
layer were merged into &os; 11.0-CURRENT. Before merging the
more than 115 individual changes into <tt>base/head</tt>, Ed
Maste and Edward Tomasz Napierala were able to help by
reviewing and improving the code quality.</p>
<p>Work has begun on backporting these changes into &os;
10-STABLE, with the current 10.2 release cycle in mind. We
hope to have that backport ready before 10.2-PRERELEASE turns
into 10.2-RELEASE.</p>
<p>In that same vein, Allan Jude was able to upload and improve
a recent Differential Revision that will eventually lead to
our having both 32-bit and 64-bit ports for CentOS 6. Port
review activity started during the BSDCan conference's
developer summit, and will be continued extensively during the
Cambridge Developer Summit.</p>
<p>We are currently expecting to have both Fedora 10, Centos 6
32-bit- and CentOS 6 64-bit-compatible frameworks available by
Q4/2015.</p>
<p>Call for Help: Contributing</p>
<p>People can contribute to the Emulation team's efforts by
testing the CentOS 64-bit changes on a &os; 11.0-CURRENT
system. Please use Bugzilla to report any bugs or oddities
encountered.</p>
<p>For the ambitious: we are planning to start working on a
CentOS 7 framework. CentOS7 is 64-bit only, uses a newer
kernel, and has <tt>systemd</tt>, so this work is highly
experimental. We hope to have a usable port by Q2/2016.</p>
