This is the Debian package of the GNU R package known as "maps".  The
upstream authors are as follows:

Original S code by Richard A. Becker and Allan R. Wilks. R version by
Ray Brownrigg <ray@mcs.vuw.ac.nz>. Enhancements by Thomas P Minka
<minka@stat.cmu.edu>.

This package was created by Chris Lawrence <lawrencc@debian.org>,
based on Dirk Eddelbuettel's packaging of r-cran-car.

The sources were downloaded from 
	http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/

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