Hi all, in addition to this, I would like to remind the existence of a repository of autobuilt R packages. It was announced by Dirk Eddelbuettel on multiple mailing lists this year: http://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/[email protected] With this repository available, I think that it does not bring much added value anymore to package leaf CRAN packages that do not need compilation or difficult build-dependancies, and that are not a dependancy of other packages. If r-cran-psy is one of them, I think that it would not be too impolite to our users to drop it if we do not have the manpower to keep it.
