Hi Rafael, the Debian Med team tries to package several parts of BioConductor. When trying to upload affy our ftpmaster criticised that the source contains binary files in affy/data/*.rda. We had some previous discussion about this before and we are aware that for people working with R thes RData files are a quite natural file format.
Despite some heavy discussion our ftpmasters (the "gatekeepers" for all software inside Debian) came to the decision https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/09/msg00332.html which requires me / the Debian Med team as the actual packagers to add some clarification about the files in question why these can not be shipped in human readable format, how the data were obtained / created etc. Could you please do us a favour and provide this information to enable us to upload the package to Debian. Kind regards and thanks for providing affy as Free Software Andreas. ----- Forwarded message from Paul Richards Tagliamonte <ftpmas...@ftp-master.debian.org> ----- Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2013 04:00:51 +0000 From: Paul Richards Tagliamonte <ftpmas...@ftp-master.debian.org> To: Debian Med Packaging Team <debian-med-packag...@lists.alioth.debian.org>, Andreas Tille <ti...@debian.org> Subject: r-bioc-affy_1.38.1-1_amd64.changes REJECTED Howdy folks, There's no documentation as to what's in: ./affy/data/cdfenv.example.rda ./affy/data/mapCdfName.rda ./affy/data/SpikeIn.rda So far as I can see. It's being shipped, I'd like a pointer of what's in there and if this is in preferred form (and how it came into this world) Cheers, Paul === Please feel free to respond to this email if you don't understand why your files were rejected, or if you upload new files which address our concerns. _______________________________________________ Debian-med-packaging mailing list debian-med-packag...@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-med-packaging ----- End forwarded message ----- -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
