I have a local copy of Rivet ready to commit which will break builds.
This will have to happen sometime, so you may wish to freeze your
current checkout at revision 1299 so you can carry on analysing things.
However, I would like us to get the metadata updated asap --- I will be
militant about this since if everyone dedicates an hour or so, we could
get this whole mess out of the way in one day.

Below, there's a list of analysis header files which are currently
breaking in my version, with my suggested ownerships --- please check
your assignments and go to
http://projects.hepforge.org/rivet/trac/wiki/MetadataMigration
to put a star beside the assignments you accept, and suggest someone
else for any that you won't / can't do. Please volunteer a bit of time:
you'll notice that Hendrik and I do rather badly here, so volunteering
to take a few of our analyses would be *very* appreciated! Once we've
all decided on which analyses are whose, I'll commit my build-breaking
chanes and we can race to get it all sorted out again asap.

In my local version I've been doing things with a stringsteam, so the
line breaks are not *terribly* annoying. A few special tokens will make
it even easier: I suggest that we use "pT" and "Et" for special
replacement into LaTeX... any other common symbols that we should
handle? "pTlead"? For the Python output, we'll remove the TeX escapes
(and constructions like \text{...}), but the cleaner it appears in the
source, the better for us.


Best wishes,
Andy
