* Package name : postgresql-8.3-plr Version : 8.3.0.6 Upstream Author : Joe Conway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.joeconway.com/plr/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : Procedural language interface between PostgreSQL 8.3 and R R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics, providing a wide variety of statistical and graphical techniques (linear and nonlinear modelling, statistical tests, time series analysis, classification, clustering, and so on). . PostgreSQL is an open source SQL database server. . This package provides a procedural language interface to R from PostgreSQL 8.3. Procedural languages are used to write functions which can be called in database queries. This package was removed from Debian (see #228074, which can not be reopened because it is archived). The reason that it is RC buggy) is void because #461995 took me 1 Minute to fix (well, you can blame me for not having this done before the removal - the package was just not on my focus). The other reason "few users" is probably right considering popcon, but this as the only reason to remove a package is not enough. I think upgradebility from Etch to Lenny is a much higher value. So I ask for reintroducing this package quickly. I prepared lintian clean packages of the latest version. Kind regards Andreas. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (501, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (5, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
