Owner: Andreas Tille <tille at debian.org>
* Package name : r-cran-stringi
Version : 0.5-5
Upstream Author : Marek Gagolewski <gagolews at rexamine.com>
* URL : http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/stringi/
* License : BSD
Programming Lang: R
Description : GNU R character string processing facilities
Allows for fast, correct, consistent, portable, as well as convenient
character string/text processing in every locale and any native
encoding. Owing to the use of the ICU library, the package provides R
users with platform-independent functions known to Java, Perl, Python,
PHP, and Ruby programmers. Among available features there are: pattern
searching (e.g. via regular expressions), random string generation,
string collation, transliteration, concatenation, date-time formatting
and parsing, etc.
Remark: This is a precondition to upgrade r-cran-stringr which was
packaged by the Debian Med team. We are maintaining the package at
svn://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/R/r-cran-stringi/
