Description (last modified by patrick-macgregor (Patrick MacGregor))
I need to install root with a gsl option so I have access to the mathmore libraries. This option has been available in the past (when looking at colleagues' older installations), but it is not here now. Is it possible to get the option reinstated?
I can tell because the root-config --has-mathmore command returns no.
port info root6 command returns:

I removed the variant as upstream have removed the option to use a shared GSL installation
CMake Error at cmake/modules/RootBuildOptions.cmake:413 (message): >>> Option 'gsl_shared' is no longer supported in ROOT 6.30.03.
It is true though I also (inadvertently) disabled the mathmore library at the same time. Let me take a look...

I haven’t tested this myself, but a colleague reported that MathMore library is still not built with this update. It however can be fixed by adding
-Dbuiltin_gsl=ON
that variant was removed with this update:

but no mention why in the commit.
