 Fair enough, lets make it https.

 Sorry, I just realised I ran the test with root, not root-devel... with
 root-revel I also get a failure

 {{{

 the root-revel/root6 port is going to be a 'devel' port, work in progress,
 alpha release port, for some time to come. Something will always not
 work... I thought of creating it just to allow people to start testing if
 they want to. A few people have asked me now as maintainer of the root
 port if cling support was coming, and this seemed the best way to supply
 that. So I think a failure like this is not a reason not to have such a
 port. Yes, we will probably need to update it regularly to pick up fixes,
 but thats fine I think...
