Package: r-base Version: 2.14.0-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Debian folks,
wanting to use `rbenchmark` which is a lot of times mentioned in the
posts of Dirk’s blog [1] what is the recommended way. Could that be
documented please? That would be quite useful. At least for me.
The description of the package already states the following.
Additionally, over thousand extension "packages" are available from
CRAN, the
Comprehensive R Archive Network, many also as Debian packages, named
'r-cran-<name>'.
Would the following addition be useful?
If they are not you have to manually install them using
`install.packages()`.
Adding that to `README.Debian` would also be helpful in my opinion.
The main question then is though, what happens if that manually
installed packages suddently is packaged for Debian?
Thanks a million,
Paul
