This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-gdata package of gdata, a
package with miscellaneous R data manipulation tools for GNU R. Gdata
was written and compiled by Gregory Warnes, with code provided by Ben
Bolker and Thomas Lumley, and is maintained by Nitin Jain. Gdata used
to be part of the gregmisc package bundle.

This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>.

The package was renamed from its upstream name 'gdata' to
'r-cran-gdata' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for
R.
