Sure, I already have the git repository setup with that name:
http://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/r-bioc-cummerbund.git

Well this is the complete list of packages I'm working on in order to
be able to include cummeRbund:
r-cran-digest
r-cran-ggplot2
r-cran-plyr
r-cran-proto
r-cran-reshape
r-cran-reshape2
r-cran-rsqlite
r-cran-stringr
They all build right now. I'm missing the license text to add for
packages using MIT and Artistic-2, an easy fix I think. The only major
issue I found was with RSQLite, which includes the sqlite3 source, but
I'm guessing I need to link against Debian's sqlite3.
It is quite easy to install these packages through R, but my idea is
to use these tools in a cluster. I would like to have a better way to
deal with installation and maintenance.
Thanks,
Carlos
