Hello, GEANT 4 *binary* .deb files are now available for GEANT4 version 8.1 if you are running Debian Sid on an i386 or amd64 machine. This is now allowed by the new GEANT4 license. Point your sources.list at: deb http://borex.princeton.edu/~kmccarty/ unstable main deb-src http://borex.princeton.edu/~kmccarty/ unstable main and "apt-get update && apt-get install geant4". If you have previously installed old geant4 packages (by compiling the Debianized source package) you may additionally want to remove the old libraries: apt-get remove libgeant4-4.8-1 libgeant4-4.8-0 and then recompile any of your GEANT4-using applications using the new ones. Note that the CLHEP2 library packages that will be pulled in as dependencies are not mine, they are courtesy of Dr. James Ferrando. They are identical to the .debs distributed from his web site at http://www-zeus.desy.de/~ferrando/ which he has specific permission to provide. Unlike GEANT4, CLHEP does not yet have a clear license, so be cautious about redistributing it, particularly after making source code edits. See also the Wiki page http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScienceGeant4 . best regards, -- Kevin B.
