As of 2012, there should only be one fix needed, and this is to handle the normalisation needed to combine the individual npX alpgen samples. If your rivet analysis does any kind of normalisation to cross section or number of events, you have to change this. I generally just turn it off and sort out the normalisation later.

This can be done eg with this patch rivet.patch

These fix a crash when the last event is empty, and save the analysis normalisations to allow combination of algen samples. Agile has now been fixed to allow PYTUNE calls, so no need to patch that any more!
 

Install the generators

Get the rivet genser script:

Now some more patches:

The main thing you need to check is that NMAXHEP is the same in agile and algpen. It can happen that agile defaults to 10000, but alpgen has 4000 hard-coded. You can just grep for 4000 to catch all instances, or this patch should work. It also fixes some other things, like automation of file names etc rather than having to type them in whenever you run.

to automate the alpgen matching stuff, and to allow the latest tunes in pytune. Remake the packages after patching...
