Geant4 maintainance

Hello,

I would like to ask what is the situtation with Geant4. The beta for
version 9.6 is already out (for about a month), the official version
9.5 has been out since March, but I cannot get any response from the
maintainer.

I have been playing with cmake-based port for version 9.5 or 9.6 and
it seems to work (one problem that I had has been fixed upstream), but
some work is still needed to get all the options right. The current
port is pretty long and complex, and I'm not a power user to be able
to test all the options that Geant4 offers.

Support for Qt is absent in current version in MacPorts. I got it
working in my simple port for 9.5, but as I already said, there's a
whole lot of other options I'm not familiar with. I'm willing to help
preparing the cmake-based port for 9.5, but I would like to get some
help from either the maintainer or someone else familiar with geant4.

Thank you,
    Mojca
