This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next CMSSW_5_3_X IBs unless changes or unless it breaks tests. This pull request requires discussion in the ORP meeting before it's merged. @davidlange6, @smuzaffar, @ktf

[bendavid]

@davidlange6 , the mechanism to inline the slha tables in the fragments was not backported to pythia6 nor to 53x (and in addition 53x predates the migration of these to externals), so I think they're needed directly in the release as such.

@Degano , @nclopezo - could you add these to the data externals? (There should already be a package for these) Thanks!

I'm working on importing these files through cms-data repository and cmsdist.

@davidlange6 @dnash86 Done, the PR in cmsdist is here: cms-sw/cmsdist#1457. Please check that the cms-data repository containing those files matches the files that would have gone in this PR. The version has been done at this commit: cms-data/Configuration-Generator@88f6b60

[bendavid]

Uh, I'm confused. I thought the migration to external data package was only done in the 7x release series, and for 53x we were still adding these files directly to the release.

[davidlange6]

@bendavid- not sure - there is no real advantage to doing so aside from enabling a quick patch release, which is not the case here.

[bendavid]

Hi,
I'm REALLY confused at what's happened here.
It seems to me that not only were the 61 new files added to the externals, but also ALL the data files in Configuration/Generator/data were added to the external (and then they were NOT removed from the cmssw release in the 53x branch, as it was done in the 7x series)

So it seems to me that triggered by 61 extra files, we have backported a large change from 7x to 53x without discussing it, and without doing it consistently.
So actually my preference would be to revert cms-sw/cmsdist#1457 and just merge this pull request. But ok let's discuss it at the ORP in 30 mins...

[ghost]

@bendavid @davidlange6 I've created and merged a new PR for cmsdist that points to those 61 files only: cms-sw/cmsdist#1461.

[davidlange6]

Thanks @Degano. I'll close this PR then as it should not be needed.
