Bugzilla Bug 34412

Hi,

I attached the ebuild for ROOT 3.10.01 (released: September 8, 2003).  The last available version in the portage tree was 3.05.04.  The package resides in dev-libs/root/.

ROOT is an object oriented C++ data analysis framework and interface heavily used in high energy physics experiments (CERN, Fermilab, LHC,...).

The list of changes with respect to the previous version can be found on http://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/examples/V3.10.txt.html (long file).

The new ebuild has a possibility to support third-party libraries (cernlib, pythia, pythia6 and venus) using environment variables (this technique is also used in the build procedure of ROOT itself).

This ebuild depends on
        virtual/x11
        >=media-libs/freetype-2.0.9
        sys-apps/shadow
        opengl? ( virtual/opengl virtual/glu )
        mysql? ( >=dev-db/mysql-3.23.49 )
        postgres? ( >=dev-db/postgresql-7.1.3-r4 )
        afs? ( net-fs/openafs )
        kerberos? ( app-crypt/mit-krb5 )
        ldap? ( net-nds/openldap )
        qt? ( x11-libs/qt )

The documentation is also new, I will submit another bug for that ebuild (app-doc/root-docs).

PS: This is my first ebuild, so some testing is definitely required.  There are still a list of dependency errors in the beginning, but they don't do any harm.  I wouldn't know how to solve them.

New ebuild for ROOT 3.10.01

dev-libs/root/root-3.10.01.ebuild

The name "ROOT" is written in capitals officially, but is in the portage tree
as "root", so maybe "root-3.10.01.ebuild" was a better name for this bug...

Could build 3.10.02, but I don't know how to test this. Please give it a try
when it's in portage. Re-open the bug if there are problems. Thanks!
