[GenABEL-dev] Trying to get ProbABEL packaged in Debian

[L.C. Karssen]

Dear list,

Here's an update of my 'getting ProbABEL into Debian' project.
On 2013-12-17 the package was uploaded for inclusion into the Debian
repositories by Andreas Tille, my Debian-med mentor. After that it is a
matter of waiting for one of the ftpmasters to do a final check.
Unfortunately I got a rejection e-mail today:

I'll try to address this issue (the files in src/include are actually
copied from R; not sure how many of these we actually need) in the
coming days and will try to resubmit again. To me it doesn't look like a
big problem.


I'll keep you updated,

Lennart.
