Bug#820797: Does anybody care about clhep (and other software from CERN)

tags 820797 patch
thanks

Hi,

I've commited a patch for bug #820797 to Git which removes the non-free
code (not yet adding the missing licenses but this should be cheap).

I'm honestly wondering whether somebody cares about clhep and related
software in Debian Science and how much it is worth spending time on
fixing the most urgent issues.

I was not able to upload the patch since the test suite fails:

...

So if somebody wants to safe this for Stretch its highly urgent now ...

Kind regards
