Hello FTP team and everybody, In the thread that you cite, I sent another email where I asked for: - Time for a transition, - Precise criteria, - Discussion between the FTP team, the maintainers of R packages in Debian, and the R community. http://lists.debian.org/20130807233230.ga12...@falafel.plessy.net With the above, I got none of what I asked. - There is nothing about how to deal with packages that fail your criteria and that are already in Debian. - Your criteria are imprecise: How do you want me to negociate with upstream developers on the basis that their data was not created "painstakingly" enough to be distributable in binary format ? - There was no discussion before you announce your decision, which suggests that further discussion is not possible. Currently, I can not bear the work load created by your decision, in particular because of the lack of coordination and negociation with the R community. I do not agree your reasonnings, and threfore can not be your voice upstream. It is unfortunate that you did not seek their point of view (at least in public). I therefore decided to stop uploading R packages to Debian. I use some of these packages on multiple computers, and will keep on sharing my work with others on Alioth, but that is all. For any of them where I was the sole uploader, please feel free to delete them from our archive.
