Geant4 8.2 packages ready



Hi list,

Geant4 release 8.2 Debian packages are now ready for Sarge/i386,
Sid/amd64 and Sid/i386.  (The packages for Sid should also work on Etch.)

The packages are here:

deb http://borex.princeton.edu/~kmccarty/ unstable geant4
deb-src http://borex.princeton.edu/~kmccarty/ unstable geant4

(substitute "stable" for "unstable" on Sarge)

As always, see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScienceGeant4 for more
information.

If anyone would like to contribute powerpc (or other arch) builds of
clhep2 and geant4, that would be quite welcome.  Source packages of the
needed versions may be obtained here:

http://borex.princeton.edu/~kmccarty/dists/sid/geant4-8.2/source/

(please take care to obtain geant4 .diff.gz and .dsc files for version
4.8.2-*2*)

Notable packaging changes since Geant4 8.1.p02 include:

* Updates to some optional data sets and corresponding fixes to the
Debian-specific install-geant4-data script
* Shared library package of hadronic physics lists now provided  (Note
that upstream now builds all the hadronic physics lists into two large
libraries named libG4phys_lists and libG4phys_builders, instead of the
previous several different libraries)
* Minor improvements to the "g4run" Debian-specific script
* Bug fix for invocations of m4 in the debian/rules build

Upstream's release notes for this version are here:

best regards,
