+Pkg-Description: Meta package to install all ROOT packages
+ This package is a meta package to ensure the installation of all
+ possible ROOT packages on this system. 
+ .
+ The ROOT system provides a set of OO frameworks with all the
+ functionality needed to handle and analyse large amounts of data in a
+ very efficient way. Having the data defined as a set of objects,
+ specialised storage methods are used to get direct access to the
+ separate attributes of the selected objects, without having to touch
+ the bulk of the data. Included are histograming methods in 1, 2 and 3
+ dimensions, curve fitting, function evaluation, minimisation,
+ graphics and visualisation classes to allow the easy setup of an
+ analysis system that can query and process the data interactively or
+ in batch mode.
+ .
+ Thanks to the built-in CINT C++ interpreter, the command language, the
+ scripting, or macro, language, and the programming language are all
+ C++. The interpreter allows for fast prototyping of the macros since
+ it removes the time consuming compile/link cycle. It also provides a
+ good environment to learn C++. If more performance is needed, the
+ interactively developed macros can be compiled using a C++ compiler.
+ .
+ The system has been designed in such a way that it can query its
+ databases in parallel on MPP machines or on clusters of workstations
+ or high-end PC's. ROOT is an open system that can be dynamically
+ extended by linking external libraries. This makes ROOT a premier
+ platform on which to build data acquisition, simulation and data
+ analysis systems.

+Pkg-Description: toolkit for simulation of particle/nuclear physics in detectors
+ GEANT4 is a toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through
+ matter.   Its application areas include high energy physics and nuclear
+ experiments, medical, accelerator and space physics studies.  The GEANT4
+ software consists of an extensive set of libraries, fundamentally
+ object-oriented and based in modern C++.  It may be used to develop programs
+ with command-line, Xaw-based, or Motif-based interfaces.
+ .
+ This package is a metapackage that depends upon all components of a
+ GEANT4 environment.  Unless you know exactly what parts of GEANT4
+ you want, it is best to install this package.

+Pkg-Description: CLHEP - A Class Library for High Energy Physics
+ The CLHEP project was proposed by Leif Lönnblad at CHEP 92. It is intended to
+ be a set of HEP-specific foundation and utility classes such as random
+ generators, physics vectors, geometry and linear algebra. CLHEP is structured
+ in a set of packages independent of any external package (interdependencies
+ within CLHEP are allowed under certain conditions).
