That's certainly desirable, but there's very good precedent for
modifying upstream tarballs when necessary, such as removing non-free

 I'm sorry to hear that. I agree it is still in quite an early stage of

 Have you looked at GNU R?  It can generate some very sophisticated
 graphs/charts--bar charts with error bars are just scratching the
 surface.  There is also grace, which can also do error bars.

It's an 'unofficial' package. I'll change it to a proper version when I feel
it's completely ready for upload. Until then I'm not worried about this.
Something like 0+beta1 might be better, but it's tomayto vs tomahto since
it's not completely ready yet either way.

I've tweaked the Makefiles so that it's built and linked statically instead,
the only reason the library exists at present is for the program anyway.
Maybe later I'll see about making a seperate package for it, but I rather
doubt it.

  Please consider applying the attached patch.  This
 protects against two (identical) buffer overflows allowing
 a local gid(games) attack.

  It's always worth checking over the source to any binaries
 you want to install setgid/setuid.

It's an 'unofficial' package. I'll change it to a proper version when I feel
it's completely ready for upload. Until then I'm not worried about this.
Something like 0+beta1 might be better, but it's tomayto vs tomahto since
it's not completely ready yet either way.

I've tweaked the Makefiles so that it's built and linked statically instead,
the only reason the library exists at present is for the program anyway.
Maybe later I'll see about making a seperate package for it, but I rather
doubt it.

Whoops, thought I fixed that.
Also, per your other message, I put the homepage in the control file. See
what late night packaging does to your brain?
0.2 should be on m.d.n shortly.

  Please consider applying the attached patch.  This
 protects against two (identical) buffer overflows allowing
 a local gid(games) attack.

  It's always worth checking over the source to any binaries
 you want to install setgid/setuid.

Re: RFS: rlplot - generate publication quality graphs

 ...but lacks a simple spreadsheet for data editing/easy viewing of
 raw figures. The same is probably true for R. The spreadsheet
 functionality is the reason why I had a look at rlplot; but what I
 am looking for is a replacement for proprietary software I currently
 use, and that only run on Windows or Mac OS. Sometimes I also use
 Grace, but only if I know that I don't need to work with the data I
 plot (like subtracting columns from each other).

There are two separate things that you deal with in R.

The first is raw data. A simple spreadsheet program like gnumeric or a
texteditor sufices to enter the data.

Once you've got the raw data, you (ideally) perform all of the
manipulations of that data in R to prepare your graphs. In my current
work, I have a relatively standard data treatment that I apply to raw
data which produces the plots automagically without wasting time
entering formulas in a spreadsheet.

Not to mention that the plotting in R is publication quality straight
out of the box, which is, frankly, not the case for most extant
graphing programs.

Dropping non-free would set us back at least, what, 300 packages?  It'd take  
MONTHS to make up the difference, and meanwhile Debian users will be fleeing
to SLACKWARE.

And what about SHAREHOLDER VALUE?
