cint is no longer developed upstream and was replaced with cling in root.
Add the latest version available from https://root.cern.ch/download/
New HOMEPAGE ships an unversioned tarball as the latest release, but its
conent is unrecognized and very different from the known cint from the old
cern.ch site.
FreeBSD claims to ship with cint-5.18 and there are references to it, but
it's probably root version 5.18 with possibly extracted files for cint.
If there is a newer version somewhere it will be upgraded later accordingly.
pkgsrc changes:
- refactor configure & build & install stages
- install demo files
- add license
- update DESCR
- new HOMEPAGE
- new MASTER_SITES
- remove conflict with devel/man-pages
