Hello,
at first I would like to inform you that I plan to package R CRAN Vcd for
the Debian GNU Linux distribution. The final target is the R CRAN
Surveillance
package which is a nice enhancement for the epidemiology task of Debian Med
[1].
I actually prepared a package which worked so far but there is one issue
which
is not accepted by ftpmaster: We have to provide the source for all binary
chunks of data - and PDF documents belong into this category. As you can
see below the source for hcl-colors.pdf is lacking from the source tarball
which I downloaded [2]. Some searching revealed a document at R-forge which
seems to be the source of this document.
I would like to ask you what strategy you would consider reasonable to
proceed
now:
1. Remove hcl-colors.pdf completely from vcd tarball because it becomes
outdated compared to the version in Colorspace. I could link inside
the Debian package to the document inside Colorspace because it depends
from it anyway so no information is lost.
In this case I wonder whether you want to remove the PDF from upstream
tarball yourself.
