Comment (by aronnax@…):

 Replying to [comment:14 jonesc@…]:
 > My experience is different, which is the knee jerk reaction of upstream
 when reporting a problem with something that is a 'secondary' packaging by
 some secondary source, to first just blame that packaging.. We have
 certainly suffered from this a fair bit in the past with MacPorts and
 ROOT, which means MacPorts might have an undeserved bad name with the ROOT
 devs. This is why if I report a problem to them now I first make sure it
 is not related to MP, by reproducing it in a standalone build, and then
 just reporting that. Sometimes the problem is because the MP build is
 using a newer external than ROOT expects (FreeType...) but at least we
 have removed from the equation the MP build of ROOT itself...

 Ah, that's a shame. But you're doing the right thing by determining the
 broadest possible platform scope of a bug before reporting it.
