Comment (by mojca@…):

 I take part of the blame. In the process of trying to get `root6` working
 on MacPorts (when CMake support was still in its infacy), I probably
 opened more than 10 tickets, mentioning MacPorts in every single one of
 them. More as a hint (like it always helps to mention the OS version and
 compiler).

 (I understand that developers of any given software would be annoyed if an
 unresponsive maintainer starts packaging the software, introducing lots of
 problems just by wrongly packaging, but this wasn't the case here.)

 Just like some developers would say "stop using windows, windows are
 buggy", (some of) root developers apparently saw "bug" and "macports" next
 to each other so often that they started making unjustified causal links
 between the two and started advising me against using MacPorts despite the
 great majority of issues were real issues in ROOT. But something that
 other users wouldn't ever stumble upon, even if just because they didn't
 have the latest version of some library like MacPorts did. Or because they
 would never use the same combination of configuration options.
