I have taken a look at the upstream's configure, but haven't quite
understand how to correctly patch it. They did include
'--with-sqlite-dir', '--with-sqlite-inc' and '--with-sqlite-lib',
these can be use to avoid using the bundled sqlite3. How could I set
these options when the package builds?
This is the 'debian/rules' file I copied from r-cran-rocr:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
include /usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk
# Require a number equal or superior than the R version the package
was built with.
install/r-$(debRreposname)-$(cranName)::
echo "R:Depends=r-base-core (>= $(shell R --version | head -n1 | perl
-ne 'print / +([0-9]\.[0-9]+\.[0-9])/')~)" >>
debian/r-$(debRreposname)-$(cranName).substvars
Thanks,
