 Hi,

 Attached is the port file (and two patch files) for a proposed new port
 root-devel. It should I guess live in the science section, along side the
 root port.

 It provides access to a snapshot of the ROOT 6 development cycle. This is
 a major development over ROOT 5 and most notably replaces the CINT
 interpreter with cling, a new one based on llvm/clang. This is a big
 change so it is likely we will want to maintain ROOT5 and ROOT6 versions
 for some time, even once ROOT6 is first released.

 No actual releases are made yet, so this port grabs an a particular
 (fixed) svn revision from the ROOT svn server. Other than the changes
 needed to do this the port is essentially the same as the root port, and
 provides most of the same variants. I have though removed the various gcc
 and clang variants, as it simply does not compile with these compilers. I
 have only got it working with clang and llvm-gcc4.2 in OSX10.8 Xcode
 4.5.2. I don't have access to any other OSX versions, so have no idea if
 it will compile on them or not ...

 This port conflicts with the root port (and thus if committed the root
 port should be updated at the same time to conflict with this one).
 Allowing them to be installable side by side might be possible, but quite
 a bit of effort and I am not sure if it would be worth it.

 One thing I wasn't completely sure on was how to update the livecheck
 section, so please take a look at that part.

 cheers Chris
