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

[Xiangyang Ye]

Dear Andreas, et al,

It's an honor to have medAdherence be chosen packaged in the distribution.

"cmos.rda" is a imaginary dataset, which only includes 3 fake patients and a
total of 14 observations with 4 variables, for the purpose of showing how to
calculate the medication adherence by different definitions. There is no
license issue at all.
