Building CRAN packages is trivial, it usually takes me about five minutes max per package. Yet I am not convinced that is what we want to sponsor more as some folks who have sponsored / packaged / uploaded are not keeping up with the new versions at CRAN (I think that holds for matchit, pscl, sp, vgam, zelig per [1] and other pages). I try to keep up with mine, and it really is not a large effort. Yet someone has to make it for the sponsored / team-managed packages too. | | I'd be glad if someone could upload this package for me, as it would supplement | the collection of CRAN packages in Debian especially for 3D plotting. Are you aware of http://debian.cran.r-project.org which gets you 2000+ CRAN packages as deb files for testing on i386 and amd64 ? That is an automated process not suitable for injection into Debian proper, but one that could be extended to other arches etc given suitable hardware donations.
