Greeting R debianites -
There are a number of R libraries I need debianized (for Ubuntu Maverick
systems, if it matters) -- ISwR, Hmisc, mosaic, mosaicManip, HSAUR2 --
which I couldn't find debian packages for.
The structure of R libraries is so regular that I'm guessing surely
there must be a template for creating debian packages for them, or maybe
a set of instructions?
Does anyone have such a thing?
Patrick,
I would suggest the Ubuntu Packaging Guide
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete) as a starting place,
at the same time using one of the .deb packages found on CRAN as a guide
to see what Dirk and I (mainly Dirk) add to the source file to create
the package. In fact, the first time I built a package from the .tar.gz
file, I used a lot of the same files from an already existing .deb file.
Hmisc is available on c2d4u
(https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/c2d4u) for Natty and Oneiric,
but not for Maverick, the others you mention are not.
Hope this helps,
Michael
