Done! Let's hope it passes NEW. I am a little worried I may have to extract copyright information from thousands of header files ... Worst case we could still do what we discussed once and have r-cran-bh be a Debian-specific 'wrapper' depending on our Boost header packages. But I don't like that as the R builds would then [potentially] behave differently. | Do you intend to upload this soon to enable me upgrading r-cran-rsqlite? The other option is to just edit it out of DESCRIPTION. There will never be any R code coming from BH; it is (really !!) just a way (for R) to set the -I flag for the compiler -- and we have that covered differently. But on balance I still prefer to package CRAN 'as is'. That is the better way (even if marginally 'less Debian') Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org
