[Rd] [OT] Debian now has a new section 'gnu-r'

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Joerg Jaspert, one of the ftpmasters / archive maintainers within Debian,
today posted a new list of 'Sections' to debian-devel-announce (see eg here
http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=22524830&framed=y )

This now includes a new Section: 

   gnu-r                    Everything about GNU R, a statistical computation and
                            graphics system 

which gives R just about the same footing Perl and Python had -- a new
section in the archive (and Ruby, Java, Haskell, OcaML, Php got the same
treatment). I think none of the 'R-within-Debian' maintainers saw this
coming.   For the record, the current list of R packages within Debian is
included below.

Cheers, Dirk
