This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel . The sources were downloaded from http://www.ggobi.org/RGtk2 The sources are expected to eventually be available at CRAN http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib The package was renamed from its upstream name 'cairoDevice' to 'r-cran-cairodevice' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for R, given that the package is expected to be available from CRAN in the near future.
