Hi Andreas, I'm now giving a try to "routine-update" on a bug picked at random: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=957704 The build of the praat package takes a wee bit of time, so I may take some time before pushing changes. Anyway, for information...

That's not where I would have hunted it, but given the literal thousand of packages labelled r-*, I guess bulk ITP R modules makes sometimes sense. > > Speaking of tasks, I believe I might have missed that aspect > > until then.

Thanks, I may not be the most competent person in the world to suggest adequate software to medical persons to day. But if common sense dictates that one package I'm working on would suit well in one or more lists, then I'll see to append it as needed. > Hope this helps I does !
