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.
