Hi Bendix,

some week ago I contected you about your package R Epi and my intent to
include it as an official package of the Debian/GNU Linux distribution
to enrich the epidemiological part of the Debian Med effort.  I might
have missed a response of yours but I do not remember any answer of yours
about the missing source of the provided information.  Could you please
give some information whether the source can be provided or not.  In
the later case we have to decide to ship R Epi without the docs or move
the complete package as it to the non-free section of Debian.

Kind regards and thanks for providing R Epi

       Andreas.

Hello,

at first I would like to inform you that I plan to package R CRAN Epi
for the Debian GNU Linux distribution.  It is a really nice enhancement for
the epidemiology task of Debian Med [1].
I actually prepared a package which worked so far but there is one issue which
is not accepted by ftpmaster: We have to provide the source for all binary
chunks of data - and PDF documents belong into this category.  As you can
see below the source for R-intro.pdf and Follow-up.pdf are lacking from the
source tarball which I downloaded [2].
Unfortunately I was not able to detect any source for these two documents
and I have no idea how to follow the request of our ftpmaster team except
to remove these nice docs which would be a shame.  Is there any way you
could provide the source of the documents (preferably inside an upgraded
version of the downloadable tarball).  Please make sure that the license
of the documents will be clarified in case it might be different from GPLv2
which is valid for the sources.

Kind regards and thanks for providing R Epi

      Andreas.
