Re: R packages - are we doing the right thing?
Everybody is in favour of doing this.
We had some additional off-list emails. Salient points:
-- let's do this
-- I strongly success GitHub because it already has a complete CRAN mirror
thanks to the work of Gabor Csardi (which whom I am very friendly and
working already on other things) (and this is no rub to alioth; they are
already Debian projects in https://github.com/Debian and eg Charles and I
have access there)
-- I suggest to create a new "org", maybe debian-r and seed it with a few of
us (Don, Charles, Steffen, ...)
-- Someone needs to show up "advanced git for packaging"; my skills are
mostly git and packaging fully separated and though I read the howtos a
few times my packaging process still fights with git even for (upstream)
repos like ess where they let me write debian/ straight in)
Thoughts?
