Moving forward with this, I propose to file an ITP for dh-r as a standalone package shortly, barring any objections. Since this shouldn't overlap with anything else, I would to go straight to unstable rather than going via experimental.
## Repository Mirrored to alioth [1], and this is the canonical VCS url given in d/control. [1]: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/dh-r.git ## Vignettes A vignette dh sequence item is provided which should build vignettes, but it has to be explicitly requested. To use this you need to add a complete texlive environment to the build-depends, since this isn't a dependency of r-base-dev (won't someone please think of the buildds). This should also work with vignettes using knitr (but not rmarkdown, since it isn't packaged). %: dh $@ --buildsystem R --with vignette ## dh-make-R This has gained options to generate team-maintenance for debian-science or debian-med, and several styles of autopkgtests (and interactive help). dh-make-R --team science --tests run_unit_test,vignette ## convert-to-dh-r (Renamed from fix-deps.pm). This is only installed to /usr/share/dh-r, but will try and convert existing d/control files (although I wouldn't recommend using it in bulk without manual review, since it's pretty primitive). ## Buildflags I was unable to inject hardening LDFLAGS options via the MAKEFLAGS environment option, so for the moment you'll still see hardening-no-bindnow. I don't think hardening is that high a priority for R, but this can be revisited later if someone has a better idea about how to do it. While I have done a certain amount of testing, doubtless there are still some pitfalls left. Caveat emptor. Gordon
