[Debian-med-packaging] r-cran-medadherence_1.01-1_i386.changes REJECTED

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Xiangyang Ye,

I would like to inform you that I intend to package the Medication
Adherence R package for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution on behalf of
the Debian Med team.  The Debian FTP master has some objections which
are partly not really an issue, but the issue about the data file has
some point.  I wonder whether you might be able to clarify source
and license of the data file.

As I explained in my last mail about epiR the GPL license is mentioned
in the DESCRIPTION file.  This seems to be the normal case for most of
the R packages.

I hope that the upstream author will be able to sort out the issue.

Kind regards
