| 02-Oct-2008: luk: needs tpu upload
| 474909 [ + T] maxima: FTBFS: /bin/sh: ./maxima: No such file or directory
I am not sure if Camm reads this lists, so maybe someone should contact him?
| [FROZEN] Package: r-base-core (optional; Dirk Eddelbuettel)

That's a mostly irrelevant bug report in a very, very tangental script
basically nobody ever runs (javareconf, used to set up R's env vars for Java)
or runs at most once. It is a fairly bening issue as the tempdir created is
only used to compile a test program in. Anyway ...
As I understand lenny does have a backport of the bugfix I put into 2.7.1-2.
[ The problem has also been addressed upstream as of 2.7.2. ]
Also, one wouldn't use r-base-core-ra [ an R variant with an experimental but
working just-in-time compiler ] for this Java test as one uses R's own.
Hope this clarifies. If anybody wants to fiddle more with this for lenny, go
ahead. I consider this closed, and it is all taken care of in unstable.
