I applied them, expect a new upload shortly. In the future, please send
patches via the common unified diff format as from
diff -ru foo-1.2.3.orig/ foo-1.2.3/
(where foo-1.2.3 contains you changes). I applied this by hand now and will
try remember to apply for the next package -- unless Steve takes them
upstream.
Steve: Context was that I am trying to make Ra (i.e. r-base-core-ra in
Debian) a little 'lighter' by not installing all the help files etc. Or do
you on the other hand recommend that I do? It seemed like a good idea at the
time as most (all ?) of these are not patched anyway, so why double them...
