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.)
