[pkg-bioc] So, where are we now ?

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

After that flurry of emails earlier in the month, things have gotten
quiet. How are going to get some momentum. Have those who looked at my brutal
Perl code snippets fainted? Are they awake now? Ready for another try?

Seriously -- how do we go forward?  There was another guy failing to get
quantreg built on Debian derivative machine (mepis) and it would be
oh-so-cool if we could just point to an archive of Debian packages somewhere
at CRAN, Debian, or whereever we get space and a pipe.

Let's do this.  Suggestion please, and some volunteering.

Dirk

PS  Doug: You may want to join pkg-bioc-devel on Alioth. Despite the bioc, it
is our umbrella organisation for debifying packages from cran, bioc, ... You
could help swing the balance back to Python. Else Perl may win. Or we just
use R with as few external bash/perl/python/... helpers as we can get away
with.
