- Make sure to provide/obsolete the python- subpkg to support
  migration

- Refresh source tarball: updated by upstream without version
  change or listing changes.

- Minor specfile cleanups.

- Update to version 2.2.6:
  * Add initial-state p_z and inelasticity selectors for DIS (#80)
  * Improve the reweighting to include the local K=BBar/B factor
    in MEPS@NLO runs (#73)

  * Adapt status=4 convention in the short HepMC output (#79)
  * Compute approximate NLO EW corrections (and subleading orders)

    Manual for details. Currently only works with a
    soon-to-be-released version of OpenLoops.

    event phase, which can be used to reject events with
    parton-level cuts (!94)

    GGH_KFactor_Setter::ClusterMassCorrectionFactor

  * Interface changes
  - Add preliminary support for HepMC3 (this interface is still
    being tested)

  - Improve decay showering off top quarks
  - Improve single-top support and add examples and documentation
    for its production channels

  - New cut-off for parton-shower reweighting:
    CSS_REWEIGHT_SCALE_CUTOFF=<pt_min>, default: 5 GeV2
    this is more generally applicable than using a cut-off on the
  number of reweighted emissions

    (reweight each step locally instead of doing it globally)

  - New default parameters for hadronisation model to improve
    heavy flavour production fractions and meson/baryon ratios.
  - Updates to Recola interface with some new parameter (names),
    please refer to the manual.
  - Make STRICT_METS the default scale setter to guarantee full
    scale setting accuracy for unweighted events.
  * New features
  - Availability of DIRE NLO parton shower (cf.
    arXiv:1705.00742). This is not (yet) the default shower, in
    particular not in NLO-merged configurations.
  - Higher numerical stability in parton shower kinematics
    (re)construction.
  - Add OVERWEIGHT_THRESHOLD allowing user to cap maximal weight
    during event generation (cf. manual).

    3 or 4.
  * Bugfixes
  - Bugfix in NLO-matched parton shower emission for non-trivial
    colour structures like in V+2j@NLO. This fixes an eta
    asymmetry which was visible at the ~2% level in such
    samples.
  - BSM models through UFO: fix running coupling behaviour and
    treatment of exotic color octets.
  - Bugfix in random generator for Poisson distributions with
    large mean values.
  - Bugfixes for segfaults and compiler warnings with gcc 7.1.
  - Bugfix for colour assignment in clustering for loop-induced
    merged processes.
  - Bugfix for decay showering in conjunction with NLO+PS
    matching.
- Change BuildRequires HepMC-devel to HepMC2-devel: not compatible
  with HepMC >= 3.0.
- Rename libSHERPA-MC-config to libSHERPA-MC0-config that follows
  the shared lib versioning. In addition the ld.so.conf.d file is
  also renamed to follow the shared lib version to make it
  possible to install multiple versions of the shared lib.
- Rebase SHERPA-MC-no-return-in-non-void-function.patch and add
  fixes for one more function showing the same issue in version
  2.2.4.
- GCC >= 6.0 required, build fails with older GCC for openSUSE <=
  1320.

- Update to version 2.2.3:
  * Support for the Recola one-loop generator for QCD corrections.
- Add SHERPA-MC-no-return-in-non-void-function.patch -- Fix a
  non-void (bool) function that was not returning any data to
  return "true".

- Shared library package must only contain time-unique names;
  split off libSHERPA-MC-config.

- use individual libboost-*-devel packages instead of boost-devel

- Update to version 2.2.1:
  * Incoporation of approximate NLO EW corrections in MEPS@NLO
    simulation as described in arXiv:1511.08692
  * On-the-fly renormalisation and factorisation scale, PDF and
    alpha_s variations in the matrix elements for LO, LOPS, NLOPS,
    MEPS, MENLOPS and MEPS@NLO simulations as described in
    arXiv:1606.08753
- Changes from version 2.2.0: See
  https://sherpa.hepforge.org/trac/wiki/SherpaDownloads/Sherpa-2.2.0.
- Drop gcc6_char_cast.patch; incorporated upstream.

  GPL-3.0.

- Update to version 2.1.1 (Bug-fix release):
  + A bug related to MC@NLO has been fixed. This will affect the
    total cross section in heavy quark production at the level of
    few permille.

    production has been fixed.
  + A problem related to SQLite database locking on IBM BG/Q

    state particle asymmetry, has been fixed. An update of the
    underlying event parameters was necessary, invalidating MPI
    grids generated with previous versions.
  + The Python interface to access Sherpa's matrix elements has
    been updated and supplemented with a C++ interface.
  + A bug in the CS subtraction in DRED has been fixed.
- Changes from version 2.1.0:

  + Spin correlated decay chains (Comix only), includes all 1->2
    and 1->3 decays allowed by the model, iterated to arbitrary
    decay chain length, all decay steps are dressed with QCD
    parton showers and QED corrections
  + MC@NLO H events with Comix, speeds up initialisation and
    runtime
- Packaging changes:
  + Disable rivet bindings until SHERPA-MC builds with latest
    Rivet >= 2.1.2
