Bug#721806: Please clarify role of *.rda files in BioConductor affy [Was: r-bioc-affy_1.38.1-1_amd64.changes REJECTED]
Hi Rafael,
the Debian Med team tries to package several parts of BioConductor.
When trying to upload affy our ftpmaster criticised that the source
contains binary files in affy/data/*.rda. We had some previous
discussion about this before and we are aware that for people working
with R thes RData files are a quite natural file format.
Despite some heavy discussion our ftpmasters (the "gatekeepers" for
all software inside Debian) came to the decision
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/09/msg00332.html
which requires me / the Debian Med team as the actual packagers to add
some clarification about the files in question why these can not be
shipped in human readable format, how the data were obtained / created
etc. Could you please do us a favour and provide this information to
enable us to upload the package to Debian.
Kind regards and thanks for providing affy as Free Software
Andreas.

Howdy folks,
There's no documentation as to what's in:
./affy/data/cdfenv.example.rda
./affy/data/mapCdfName.rda
./affy/data/SpikeIn.rda
So far as I can see.
It's being shipped, I'd like a pointer of what's in there
and if this is in preferred form (and how it came into this
world)
Cheers,
Paul
