Re: rgdal?

[Johan Van de Wauw <johan.vandewauw@gmail.com>]

It should be easy to package, for OSGeo live we use a package created
by cran2deb.

IMHO The major reason that it is not packaged is that R has a
convenient packaging system itself.  For most modules I don't think
packaging as a deb is that useful. I don't really see the point in
getting updates to my R packages through my operating system.
