Bug#330622: That XML formatting bug
Hi,
Regarding the open r-cran-xml bug in Debian, the package's upstream author
wrote me the following text quoted below. And indeed, we now get the desired
behaviour
> print(z<-xmlNode("tag",value="data without newline"), indent="", tagSeparator="")
<tag> data without newline</tag>>
>
which allows more user control over the output.
I've adopted r-cran-xml and uploaded 0.99-3-1. Thanks to Rafael for
maintaining it initially, and to Andrew for the more recent QA upload.
Regards, Dirk

Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.
