Ok.. For the moment, I'm leaving r-pdl patches in pdl. R doesn't work for me, (this segfaults: perl -le 'use PDL::R; pnorm(.1,0.0,1.0);'). make test doesn't complain, but that's probably because the debian package doesn't include any tests for R. I'm seriously concerned about this.
More generally, I'm interested in migrating R out of debian-only pdl -- they should either be in upstream pdl package or not in debian's pdl package. But I need to figure out who to talk to before I can do anything more about that. [I'm also subscribing to pdl-porters -- something I've not done for a while.] If there's some way an R novice could quickly come up to speed on R I'd appreciate any pointers. -- Raul
