The debian package name was changed fom RMySQL on the CRAN archives to r-cran-rmysql. This best reflects the origin of the package. Dirk Eddelbuettel kindly sponsored this package since its initial release in fall 2003. He performed and still performes many smaller changes to streamline the debianisation. I very much thank him for this. The Debian community strives for an automated preparation of Debian packages from the CRAN and BioConductor R package archives. The mailing list of the respective Alioth project (https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-bioc) and the Wiki page (http://wiki.debian.org/?AliothPkgBioc) give further information. -- Steffen Moeller Sun, 5 Feb 2006 15:39:03 +0100
