Re: shiny-server in debian

[Eric Brown <eb@ericebrown.com>]

Hi Nilesh,

This is fantastic. I can say right off the bat that it installed and ran just fine when I used your repo per the README. I’m going to do it again on a fresh Debian and try my apps, just to be sure because I had been playing around with some dependencies on this current install. 

Thanks for all your work on this.

Best,

Eric

Thanks that helped.
I backported selective fixes and got all tests passing and the package building \o/

Since you volunteered to test the package once, I have hosted the '.deb' and other '.deb'
of its dependencies which are not available in the archive here:

        https://people.debian.org/~nilesh/shiny-server/

Readme should help you pull it w/o hassles. If you want to directly install the '.debs' they are in the
pool dir

        https://people.debian.org/~nilesh/shiny-server/pool/main/

Could you please test this? That'd be very helpful.

Regards,
Nilesh
