[Rivet] Rivet in athena

[Ulla Blumenschein]

Dear all,

Since we are discussng setups:
What is the correct cvmfs path for a reasonably recent and stable
Rivet version?
On SLC5, I have so far been using 1.8.2 from afs:
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/MCGenerators_hepmc2.06.05/rivet/1.8.2/

Cheers, Ulla
