Comment (by larryv@…):

 Replying to [comment:20 jonesc@…]:
 > Personally, I would say the second of the two options. Have a new port
 for xrootd. The fact it uses the same tarball as root is not an issue (gcc
 and libstdcxx do this for instance). The root port should then be updated
 with a new variant that depends on this new xrootd port, and sets the
 relevant configure options to use it. This has the advantage that xrootd
 can evolve at its own pace (although some degree of coordinate between the
 two ports might be useful), and both ports can be installed with or
 without the other, if required.

 This would be a good place for a subport (i.e., adding `xrootd` as a
 subport of `ROOT`).
