#43530: [NEW] Cling -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ani07nov@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: cling | -------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by jonesc@…): Hi, Yes, its essentially the same thing. Root6 though builds its own internal cling version, and afaik there is currently no option to use an external cling build. Both cling and root6 are heavily in development now, root6 is still in beta, so its reasonable they want to control the version they use, for compatibility reasons. Its possible they might in the future an add an option to use an external cling, but also given its an integral core component of root6, they also might decide they wish to always have control of the version they use. Root has also always shown a tendency to prefer to use its own internal builds... Either way, its something for upstream to decide if they wish to allow or not, so until they do any root6 and cling ports will have to use they own cling builds (i beleive root6 names theirs such that it would clash, but this would have to be tested.)
