retitle 'rcompgen obsoleted upstream and to be removed from unstable'
severity 476033 normal
thanks
The code from the source package 'rcompgen' has been integrated into the
source package 'r-base' as per the r-base version 2.7.0 ("R 2.7.0"). In other
words, the core parts of GNU R have absorbed what was at first an add-on
package rcompgen.
With that, the add-on package is no longer needed, and that is why the build
is also made to fail as seen below.
The rcompgen package should stay in testing and stable as those versions will
continue to work with R releases prior to R 2.7.0 (of which we now have a
pre-release in unstable).
Thanks, Dirk

| Hi,
|
| During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on i386.
|
| This rebuild was done with gcc 4.3 instead of gcc 4.2, because gcc 4.3 is now
| the default on most architectures (even if it's not the case on i386 yet).
| Feel free to downgrade this bug to 'important' if your package is only built
| on i386, and this bug is specific to gcc 4.3 (i.e the package builds fine with
| gcc 4.2).
