I attempted to lay out two alternatives:
i) where you remove mathjaxr, the Debian package just follows
ii) where you do nothing but the Debian package gets altered ("patched")
and then differs in that only it no longer uses mathjaxr
Hth, Dirk
I wonder if there's a way to define stubs for the macros in the package,
and use mathjaxr versions only conditional on having it available? I
suspect that should be possible, but might require changes in R, not
just in the individual packages.
As to the workaround in rgl: since the mathjaxr macros are defined to
be similar to the existing \eqn and \deqn macros in base R, it was easy
to switch back to those and I (hopefully temporarily) dropped the
mathjaxr dependency completely. For a package that made more extensive
use of math in the help pages it would be more work.
