Hi!

In fact, I've installed Rivet on the VM two days ago (along with newer
versions of fastjet and HepMC). I'm happy with updating that if needed,
but I think we can use it as it is for linking the generators to it. I
will have to install some patches anyhow, but that only affects
analyses, e.g. the modified Z-pT stuff without including photons.
Unfortunately all I currently get on the VM is "Connection reset by
peer" every couple of seconds.
