Compilation takes quite a while, thus consider to build ROOT like that:
# MAKEFLAGS=-j5 ./root.SlackBuild
-REQUIREMENTS: gl2ps libAfterImage numpy3 tbb ftgl
+REQUIREMENTS: gl2ps libAfterImage python3-numpy tbb ftgl
-NOTE: ROOT's python TMVA requires numpy3 built over blas.
+NOTES:
+ - ROOT's python TMVA requires python3-numpy being built over blas.
+
+ - This SlackBuild sets the root7 build option to ON in order to
+ prepare the migration to the new ROOT 7 release. More on the ROOT 7
+ features you can find here:
+ https://root.cern/for_developers/root7
+
+ - Starting from ROOT version 6.26/00 it uses the web-based version for
+ the TBrowser if it is build with the root7 option being ON. You can
+ switch back to the Win95-looking TBrowser by adding the following
+ line to your $HOME/.rootrc file:
+ Browser.Name: TRootBrowser
+
+ - Starting from ROOT 6.28/00 version, one can use rootssh script for
+ automatic configuration of ssh tunnel, necessary for web widgets:
+ rootssh username@remotenode
