Version: 8.226-bp150.2.7
* Thu Aug 31 2017 badshah400@gmail.com
- Build with HepMC2-devel < 3, since pythia tests fail when built
against HepMC-devel >= 3.
* Mon Jul 31 2017 badshah400@gmail.com
- Update to version 8.226:
+ See list of changes at:
http://home.thep.lu.se/~torbjorn/pythia82html/UpdateHistory.html
- Rebase patches for update.
- Add python-dont-force-std-cxx98.patch to prevent usage of
- -std=c++98 and instead inherit default compiler flags; using
c++98 causes conflicts with dependencies such as fastjet which
are built using default compiler std, leading to build failures
for openSUSE > 1320 (where fastjet is compiled with --std=c+=14
support). Tests in the check section show that this does not
have any untoward repercussions.

- Use individual libboost-*-devel packages instead of boost-devel
(only for suse_version > 1325).
* Thu Feb 02 2017 bwiedemann@suse.com
- Fix build with rpm-4.13 that creates no .orig file
* Wed Jan 25 2017 badshah400@gmail.com
- Update to version 8.223:
+ See list of changes at:
http://home.thep.lu.se/~torbjorn/Pythia.html
or locally at
/usr/share/doc/packages/pythia/htmldoc/UpdateHistory.html.
- Pass "-std=c++14" to CXXFLAGS as it is required for building
with fastjet support.
- Move installation of shell env definitions to %install section;
this avoids an rpmlint warning and is a better place to do the
installation rather than the %build section.
* Sun Jan 01 2017 jengelh@inai.de
- Trim descriptions; only have the full one on the most important
package. RPM group corrections.
* Wed Sep 07 2016 badshah400@gmail.com
- Modify pythia-remove-rpaths.patch to make disabling rpaths
optional, specified by passing the "--disable-rpath" option to
configure. Pass said option at the %build stage to prevent
rpath usage in build shared libraries.

- Update to version 8.219:
+ See list of changes at:
http://home.thep.lu.se/~torbjorn/Pythia.html
or locally at
/usr/share/doc/packages/pythia/htmldoc/UpdateHistory.html.
- Rebase patches so that they apply cleanly against updated
version.
- Add pythia-remove-rpaths.patch to remove rpath usage when
building shared libraries.

- Update to version 8.212:
+ See list of changes at:
http://home.thep.lu.se/~torbjorn/Pythia.html
* Fri Sep 04 2015 badshah400@gmail.com
- Update pythia-honour-env-cxxflags.patch to really fix the
issue (mentioned in previous entry) for all cases.
* Wed Sep 02 2015 badshah400@gmail.com
- Update pythia-honour-env-cxxflags.patch to fix a minor issue
with the pythia8-config script when system CXXFLAGS are passed
during compilation.
* Fri Aug 14 2015 badshah400@gmail.com
- Fix the location pointed to by PYTHIA8DATA env variable saved in
/etc/profile.d/pythia.*; remove %{appname} macro as nothing uses
it any more.
- Use %configure instead of ./configure (remove duplicate
specification of "--prefix=PATH").
- Add pythia-honour-env-cxxflags.patch to allow compilation with
CXXFLAGS set by env appended to default compilation flags; this
allows the build to honour RPM_OPT_FLAGS.
- Fix some unusual characters in the descriptions.

- Change postinstall scripts to run ldconfig directly

- Update to version 8.210:
+ Bug fix in CKKW-L merging for LHE files, such that the
factorization and renormalization scales are set by the SCALUP
value if the muf2 and mur2 LHEF3 attributes have not been set,
and the user has not set any explicit values; this change
restores the PYTHIA 8.1 behaviour.
+ Various technical improvements in the machinery for hard
diffraction.
+ Correct quark flavour selection when a string spanned directly
between two junctions is split up.
+ Check that SK-I and SK-II colour reconnection machineries only
are called for event topologies they are set up to handle.
+ Bug fixes in partial widths of the W' boson. Results are
correct when the W' is a simply rescaled copy of the W, but
not for more general couplings. Thanks to Mihail Chizhov.
+ Minor fix in default location of PDF data files in the
constructors. No practical consequence since correct
non-default values are used.
+ Tiny fix in the configure script, so that CXX options
containing an equal sign are parsed correctly.
- Changes from version 8.202 through 8.209:
+ See /usr/share/doc/packages/pythia/htmldoc/UpdateHistory.html.
- Add pythia-makefile-destdir-support.patch to enable DESTDIR
support in the Makefile; makes configure stage buildroot-free
and prevents an ugly BUILDROOT trace in the shlib.
- Enable additional bindings now that all necessary deps are in
Factory; new subpackage: libpythia8lhapdf6.
- Add BuildRequires: chrpath; required to cleanup rpath in
libpythia8lhapdf6.so.

- Update to version 8.201:
+ Undocumented changes
- Changes from version 8.200:
+ Long list of changes, see announcement here:
https://www.hepforge.org/lists-archive/pythia8-announce/2014/000009.html
- Packaging changes:
+ Rename pythia-libs to libpythia8 to satisfy rpmlint (although
the package only includes one unversioned shlib)
+ Documentation files moved from toplevel dir in source to
"share" subdir, adapt specfile accordingly
+ pythia8-config.in is now replaced by the script pythia8-config
and does not require any tweaking in specfile to get right
paths
+ configure options changed, allowing to automatically install
to libdir where it needed to be manually copied to /usr/lib64
for the x86_64 arch
+ Package new headers directory: %{_includedir}/Pythia8Plugins/
+ Package new pdf documentation: %{_docdir}/%{name}/pdfdoc/.

- Update to version 8.186:
+ New user hook to help experimentation with colour
reconnection, in particular in relation to resonance decays
+ New set of parameters StringFlav:probQQ1toQQ0join, used to
pick diquark spin when two already produced quarks are to be
joined into a diquark
+ Possibility to map the bookkeeping of exotic unresolved
incoming beams in Les Houches event files onto neutrino beams,
see LesHouches:idRenameBeams; primarily intended for dark
matter annihilation
+ A correction to the graviton (G^*) + parton hard processes
(5003-5005) to account for off-shell G^* production; the
previous formula assumed the graviton was on-shell and
could greatly overestimate the low-mass tail of the G^*.
+ Bug fixes in examples/JetMatching.h, for uninitialized
boolean, and number of partons to match for heavy flavour
handling. The former bug was introduced with the new
matching schemes in version 8.185 and affected matching to
ALPGEN, since no events were rejected
+ Differentiate the reading of ALPGEN masses, so that vanishing
c or b masses in ALPGEN are not unwittingly used where
inappropriate; also protect the c and b masses from being set
too low in TimeShower and SpaceShower, so that flavour
thresholds are not messed up
+ Reduce number of maximum violation warnings in SpaceShower by
leaving some headroom for branching weights
+ Bug fix that hasVetoed in Pythia.cc was not reset correctly in
some specific cases
+ Bug fix in PartonLevel.cc where a reference could become
invalid
+ Improvements and bug fixes in junction handling
+ Bug fix to not reuse colour indices in double diffraction
+ Bug fix in the calculation of the average mass threshold of
open decay channels of a resonance; reduced
ResonanceWidths::MASSMIN parameter value.
+ Correct typo in left-right symmetry documentation
+ Other minor fixes.
