I made another change to r-cran.mk, and so far all packages 'just work'
by only source r-cran.mk. The newest one was to have r-cran.mk grep for
'Priority: recommended' in the DESCRIPTION file and then switch to installing
into /usr/lib/R/library/ (where reommeneded packages go) rather than
/usr/lib/R/site-library/
Are there other modifications we could or should address from r-cran.mk?
The 'repositories' idea is also implemeneted. A few month ago I added
inclusin of debian/overrides for Lintian, if found.
Also, I no longer include the basically empty postinst/postrm.
Lastly, one thing I find confusing when building the few dozen r-cran-*
packages I manually maintain: Sometimes an R package is NOT listed in
Depends: yet required under pbuilder (probably due to LazyLoad or
something). How reliable is the Depends/Suggests information in DESCRIPTION
for us?
Cheers, Dirk
