While I really like the cran2deb effort we are missing IMHO one feature
of the Blends scope: We have less chances to direct users of the field
Psychology to this package. Well, the Blends tools are flexible enough
to show the package as "Inofficial Debian Package" and it will be listed
in the Suggests of med-psychology which leads to good chances for the
user to get the package if he is using the apropriate sources.list entry
to cran2deb. So from a technical perspective it is not that bad.
But we will probably loose the Debian Med internal knowledge about this
project. That was implyed in my initial mail where I was asking about
the status of this package and a possible replacement. Perhaps it is
not even a good idea to Suggest this package any more and we should drop
it at all because it is outdated and replaced by r-cran-psych?
Regarding the mapower to polish the package technically I do not see
a real bottleneck because it is quite simple (thanks to Dirks perfect
build stuff). But I care about the context of the package.
Kind regards
Andreas.
