[Debian-med-packaging] r-cran-rcurl_1.95-4.1-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Paul,

I'm going to ask the authors about RCurl/data/mimeTypeExtensions.rda as
per the ftpmaster decision[1] as I'm doing also in the case of the other
rejected R packages.  However, in your mail you write "please document
expat license and reupload".  Do I understand you correctly, that you
would accept the package once the license statement is added but perhaps
the information I need from upstream is not yet provided and will be
added later?  I'm just asking to prevent just another reject and save
your time to verify the package.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
