Bug#515647: r-cran-surveillance_0.9.9-1_i386.changes REJECTED (fwd)
Hello,
at first I would like to inform you that I plan to package R CRAN Surveillance
for the Debian GNU Linux distribution. It is a really 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 flowchart.pdf and vignette.pdf are lacking from the
source tarball which I downloaded [2].
I had a look into your SVN and happily found
surveillance/pkg/inst/doc/SurveillanceFlowchart.sxd
which is probably the source of flowchart.pdf and
surveillance/pkg/inst/doc/vignette.{Rnw,tex}
which seems to be the source of vignette.pdf (please excuse my ignorance
but I can not really know what Rnw files are - looks like latex source and
both files look very similar - probably one is auto generated from the
other).
So I would like to suggest you might bundle a new tarball which includes
the sources for the pdf files (and perhaps stripping the aux, bbl, blg, log
and out files would make sense). This would enable me to build a Debian
package without any changes to the source and it will probably help other
users as well.
Kind regards and thanks for providing R Surveillance (BTW, once I packaged
all Epidemiology related R packages I'll issue a more general announcement)
Andreas.

Dear Maintainer,
Rejected. As far as I can see, both flowchart.pdf and vignette.pdf are missing
their source.
Mark
