geant321 (1:3.21.14.dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low

    You should be aware that some functions have been removed from the GEANT
    3.21 libraries with this release.

    The functions in question were discovered to contain non-free GEANT-FLUKA
    code (part of which had already been removed long ago).  This code is
    licensed in a manner incompatible with the main Cernlib license (the GNU
    General Public License) and therefore cannot be distributed by the Debian
    Project.  See also http://www.fluka.org/Faq.html for more information.
    
    Care has been taken to keep the library technically ABI-compatible by
    adding dummy functions to replace the removed code.  However, if you run
    code that calls one of these functions, it will now immediately abort with
    an error.  Additionally, a number of FORTRAN include (*.inc) files
    defining GEANT-FLUKA COMMON blocks have been removed.  Dummy COMMON blocks
    have been added to replace those defined in GEANT-FLUKA code.  It is very
    unlikely that you would be using such a COMMON block without using
    GEANT-FLUKA functions.  But in such a case things should still work, as
    long as you neither depend on any initial values in the COMMON blocks
    (they are all now initialized to zero) nor require the deleted include
    files in order to define them.

    A complete up-to-date list of removed include files can be found in
    /usr/share/doc/geant321/deadpool.txt , and the list of removed
    functions is in /usr/share/doc/libgeant321-2/README.Debian .  We
    apologize for any inconvenience.
