My experience is different, which is the knee jerk reaction of upstream when reporting a problem with something that is a 'secondary' packaging by some secondary source, to first just blame that packaging.. We have certainly suffered from this a fair bit in the past with MacPorts and ROOT, which means MacPorts might have an undeserved bad name with the ROOT devs. This is why if I report a problem to them now I first make sure it is not related to MP, by reproducing it in a standalone build, and then just reporting that. Sometimes the problem is because the MP build is using a newer external than ROOT expects (FreeType...) but at least we have removed from the equation the MP build of ROOT itself...
Ah, that's a shame. But you're doing the right thing by determining the broadest possible platform scope of a bug before reporting it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43989#comment:16> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
