Re: RFS: pythia8/8.1.65-1 [ITP]
Hi,
Without being an expert in the matter, I'd just like to say that from Pythia 6
to Pythia 8 was pretty much a complete rewrite in similar manner to Geant 3 to
Geant 4. They went from F77 to C++. You could nearly call them different
projects.
I think in this particular case naming the package Pythia8 could make sense.
You could then have a virtual package Pythia which currently depends on
Pythia8 if you want. There could also be others that might be interested in a
Pythia6 package...
I'm not myself an actual Pythia user, so someone else with more expertise
might want to chime in their opinion.
Best Regards,
Yngve
