[Pkg-exppsy-maintainers] Status of r-cran-psy?

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I realised that the r-cran-psy package has not changed since etch and is
featuring a nasty long standing bug #400726 for nearly three years.  I
guess the fact that upstream seems to be dead (no new version since June
2005[1]) has prevented your from updating the package.  If you ask me
you should try to polish the package a bit (for instance adding Homepage
fields etc.) and considering the good experiences I made with using cdbs
and /usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk.

If you need help to do this - perhaps you have some time constraints,
I'd strongly suggest to consider group maintenance either in the
Experimental Psychology Maintainers or the Debian Med team.  In case
you like this idea but have no idea what this mean you are very welcome
to ask here on the list for further help.

BTW, when looking for the upstream sources I also noticed that there
is r-cran-psych and I wonder whether this might serve as an upstream
actively maintained replacement or an interesting addition.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining r-cran-psy

    Andreas.
