Kudos to High Energy Physics packagers (Re: r3479 - /projects/science/trunk/debian-science/tasks/highenergy-physics)

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

I'd like to say kudos to Lifeng Sun (and probably others who helped out
to get a lot of high energy physics applications packaged for Debian!
Really great work!!!

I noticed this when I have watched the edits in the highenergy-physics
task and would like to comment that not only the ITPs can be deleted but
in principle all extra information except the package name.  The only
currently missing package in Debian from the task file is geant4 but
this is just in Git and the needed information is just obtained from
there - so I stripped all redundant information from the tasks file.

Note: I injected the ITP bug number into the preliminary packaging of
geant4 and turned the target distribution from stable to UNRELEASED.  I
have no idea whether this might have broken something - at least it fits
our convention.  If there is any other "stable" distribution I'm not
aware of feel free to revert my change.

Moreover I created a highenergy-physics-dev task because all the
packaged libraries have according -dev packages.  For the task
highenergy-physics it would be better in principle to add some packages
that might contain some according tools / applications because the
library itself is nothing a user can actually execute.

Could you revise the task according to this?

Kind regards and thanks for your great work

      Andreas.
