  Description     : GNU R package for dynamic report generation using Literate 
Programming techniques

 The R package knitr is a general-purpose literate programming engine, with
 lightweight API's designed to give users full control of the output without
 heavy coding work. It combines many features into one package with slight
 tweaks motivated from my everyday use of Sweave.

The R knitr package is needed for RStudio's Shiny Server.

I'll contact upstream ( https://github.com/yihui/knitr/ ,
http://yihui.name/knitr/ ) about license information; I couldn't find anything
relevant in the sources.

I'm working on the knitr packaging using debian-science's git at Alioth, at
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=debian-science/packages/r-cran-knitr.git .

RStudio's Shiny Server the Debian way".

Bye,

Joost
