Bug#965964: ITP: geant4 -- physics simulation toolit from CERN
The package is now on mentors [1], the source code on Salsa [2].
Be warned, the source package is about 1.5GB big. This is mainly due to the large datasets. Without the datasets Geant4 is unusable (programs compile but don't start).
As I already mentioned, the package quality is rather bad, lintian takes ages to run on this an the output is super long. Building also takes at least 15min btw.
There a still a couple of things that can be done, and I would love some help if someone is interested. Here's a incomplete list:
* proper copyright review
* taking a look at /usr/share/Geant4-10.6.2/tools.license and find out to what it applies
* building the doxygen documentation
* write man pages for geant4-config and geant4-env
* get rid of the recursive symlink (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/Geant4-10.6.2/Linux-g++)
* install the Python module
* use Debians CLHEP library, it is in Debian but it needs to be updated to >= 2.4.1.0
* take care of the fonts
* in geant4-env, use the user's shell instead of bash
