#54695: ROOT6 C++ Jupyter kernel
-------------------------------------+-------------------

     Type:  defect                   |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal                   |  Milestone:
Component:  ports                    |    Version:
 Keywords:  python metakernel root6  |       Port:  root6
-------------------------------------+-------------------
 == Problem:

 ROOT6 has a C++ Jupyter kernel which relies on python {{{metakernel}}}
 (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/metakernel).
 Unfortunately MacPorts does not provide a package for this. This kernel is
 different from using pyroot within Jupyter
 (see Bug report #54694).

 == Solution:

 Installation of {{{metakernel}}} via {{{pip}}} works like a charm. Would
 be great to have a MacPorts package for
 metakernel and a dependency of root on it.

 == Improvement
 Currently the ROOT packages does not have a dependency on Jupyter
 packages. One could probably think of a
 ROOT package variants +jupyter which introduces those dependencies.
