I've uploaded r-cran-registry. 

I added some missing (Build-)Depends to r-cran-rngtools.  Since this
Depends from pkgmaker we need to upload this first.

Thanks!

I've read this.  Good that you CCed the list.

It seems the license is clearly specified. 

Sorry, I meant the copyright.

 

The Copyright ends at the latest time stamp of the
files in the download tarball.  I admit I wild-guessed the Copyright
start as 2010.  If the author started with the code later no real harm
is done.  If he started earlier - well, I guess the world will keep on
turning round also in this case and obviously the author does not care
himself.  So if this was the question you had I think we can move on
here.  The most important thing is simply the free license.

Even if you can guess the start is 2010, it is not certain. And even in the event that this is true, we don't know who is the copyright folder, can be the upstream maintainer (most likely) but there might be other people involved or even can be the institution where he is working for. However if you don't think it is a big issue, and if you think we can carry on anyway, please feel free to upload this package too.

 

Did I overlooked something?  If not I'd upload as soon as r-cran-registry
is available in unstable.  I also added some missing (Build-)Depends).

Fine.  Productive DebConf.  ;-)

:) this is on alioth now, so you whenever you have time, please double check it and uploaded please.

Just to make it clear, the packages for which I need sponsor for are:

r-cran-registry

r-cran-rngtools

r-cran-pkgmaker

r-cran-nmf

Freezing on Spanish or on Scotish scale? :-P

Gunnar just wrote me that nobody was swimming in the Ocean up to now.
Its a shame that I'm not there. ;-)

Well, it's winter and there is no central heating, but no snow nor ice :( so not really *too* cold....

 

Tomorrow I'll go with my bicycle to my children (hey you have daytrip as
well, havn't you?)  From there I have a better connection to see live
streams more reliable (my home is quite badly connected).  And for sure
I have my cute grandchild

yeah! Tomorrow day out, I'll go to Cape Point and hopefully we'll be lucky and see some of the lovely animals here.

Enjoy your family!

Have fun in Capetown

 

Thanks ;)
