hi,

in packaging the R package deSolve, and i get several warnings:

I: r-cran-desolve: spelling-error-in-binary
usr/lib/R/site-library/deSolve/libs/deSolve.so BANDWITH BANDWIDTH
W: r-cran-desolve: package-contains-timestamped-gzip
usr/lib/R/site-library/deSolve/doc/source/ddaspkcomments.txt.gz
W: r-cran-desolve: package-contains-timestamped-gzip
usr/lib/R/site-library/deSolve/doc/source/opkdmain.f.gz
W: r-cran-desolve: package-contains-timestamped-gzip
usr/lib/R/site-library/deSolve/doc/source/opkdmaincomments.txt.gz
W: r-cran-desolve: package-contains-timestamped-gzip
usr/lib/R/site-library/deSolve/doc/source/vodecomments.txt.gz


the first i assume we can't fix, because it would potentially break
things. do i add a lintian override for this?

the latter involves the package author including some fortran source
code amongst the documentation; however, they have provided it gzipped.

do i lintian override these as well?

with thanks

jonathon

That serveth not another's will;
Whose armour is his honest thought,
And simple truth his utmost skill

This man is freed from servile bands
Of hope to rise, or fear to fall:
Lord of himself, though not of lands,
And, having nothing, yet hath all.
