Hi all, I've started to work on moving of sci-physics/herwig++ into the tree after discussion with Andrew (see below). It takes with it a bunch of packages:
* sci-physics/rivet * sci-physics/yoda * sci-physics/thepeg * sci-physics/looptools I remember some discussions about ideas to make the tree more for core packages and overlay for specialized stuff. How did we decided finally what is better: having specialized stuff in overlays, or moving it to the tree when it is mature enough? What are pros and cons?
