With the creation of this subproject it will improve science project. There's lot's of packages out there that needs to be added to the tree. So this herd as a future. We need to discuss with the other sub projects the inclusion of crystallographic tools. So let's start discuss and start this sub project. Please add yourself to cc if you are interested.
I personally don't care whether crystallography software ends up in a sep. herd/sub-project or in sci-physics. However, i'd like to put some package in sci-physics: * sci-libs/root, move to sci-physics/root (this is actually a program _and_ library, so it shouldn't be in sci-libs anyway. Also, it is developed by CERN for HEP experiments, so clearly a candidate for sci physics.) * sci-physics/feynfig (new package, use to generate feynman graphs automatically via xfig.) * sci-physics/fermitools (new package, collection of different utilities)
More packages as suggested on -science list: By pbients: sci-misc/camfr and sci-misc/mpb By C Y <smustudent1@yahoo.com>: ''' Physics packages (not all of which may be in gentoo at the moment) mpb (mit photonic bands - does have ebuild) root (in sci-libs, maybe it should stay there?) geant4 http://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/ (it can be installed on Gentoo but no ebuild yet) (other stuff from http://lcgapp.cern.ch/project/ is probably of interest) http://fermitools.fnal.gov/abstracts/transport/abstract.html http://fermitools.fnal.gov/abstracts/turtle/abstract.html There are other tools of interest here: http://fermitools.fnal.gov/categories/index.html but I suspect many of them have a wider application that just physics Other possibilities: http://www.freehep.org/ - probably a lot that might be included here. http://wwwasd.web.cern.ch/wwwasd/paw/ The license is a bit wonky but there is this: http://www.physics.cornell.edu/sss/ ''' So the final list, excluding dups: sci-misc/camfr sci-misc/mpb geant4 (new?) freehep paw (?) sss (?) Geore
suggested on bug 98233 CLHEP - A Class Library for High Energy Physics also sci-misc/xfoil sci-misc/lightspeed I think now there's enough packages to start a new category... please add more here so we can do a final list.
i also forgot this packages that needs to be added to the tree: Chronojump fityk Gravetat pdnMesh
I'd like to move sci-chemistry/abinit to physics.
One interesting addition to sci-physics might be CPMD [1] which is a pretty powerful ab initio MD code widely used in solid state physics and recently also in biological simulations. Unfortunately, it is not GPL'd but open source for non-profit organization if I remember correctly, but I'll have to read the license again. Now that gcc has a F90 compiler we should be able to build it, but I am not sure since I haven't touched it in ages. [1] http://www.cpmd.org/
(In reply to comment #2) > http://wwwasd.web.cern.ch/wwwasd/paw/ PAW is included in cernlib , and quite difficult to extract as a single package. cernlib is in bug #65708 and in the http://gentooscience.org.
if everyone agrees i would like to create the new category today and moving packages from another categories then ping infra to create an alias for us. After this we should import more packages and create a project page.
OK i created the new category and moved a few packages from another categories to the new. Now it's time to add some new packages, update the bugs and metadata. My question is: How we should deal with gentoo/misc/herds.xml ? Just update the roles on science herd or create a new herd ?
A new alias is a new herd, so make new ones.
guys if you want to be on the herd please add yourself to misc/herds.xml.
closing this bug... now it's time to fix bugs and add new packages. Thanks all
