[sync] r-cran-rcmdr missing icon (and other bugs), please sync from debian

[Pietro Battiston]

r-cran-rcmdr is the R Commander.
Its jaunty version is currently 1.4-6-1 (no particular Ubuntu changes are made).
Its debian unstable version is 1.4-7.1-1 .

The debian changelog between the two versions is:

 rcmdr (1.4-7.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Slightly modified new upstream release with three new contributed files
     in inst/etc/linux to provide a desktop file for Rcmdr as suggested
     by Pietro Battiston; extra thanks for his creation of the png file.
     All three files should be in the next upstream release.

   * debian/r-cran-rcmdr.{install,desktop}: Added provide desktop file
          (Closes: #518596)

rcmdr (1.4-7-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release

 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <email address hidden> Thu, 08 Jan 2009 08:28:27 -0600

the changelog of the last upstream release is:

Version 1.4-6

   o Added polr and multinom models to effect-plots, consistent with latest version of effects package.

   o ttkentry() redefined to trim leading and trailing blanks (to avoid potential problems when user introduces a leading or trailing blank in a text field, as reported by Rich Heiberger).

   o An attempt is made to break commands at blanks and commas to fit them in the script and output windows.

   o Improvements to the one-way and multi-way ANOVA dialogs, including saving the models that are produced (suggested by Rich Heiberger).

   o Improvements and bug fixes to handling of plug-in menu installation.

   o New function MacOSXP() to test for Mac OS X; used to suppress "Data -> New data set" menu, since the Mac data editor causes R to hang when called with an empty data frame (reported by Rob Goedman and Tracy Lightcap).

   o When character values are entered in the data editor after "Data -> New data set", the corresponding variable is converted to a factor.

   o When console.output is TRUE, messages as well as output now go to the R Console and the Commander Messages window (as well as the Output window) is suppressed (with code contributed by Richard Heiberger).

   o Small changes.

As you can see, the only (minor) new feature is the first. In the meanwhile, many bugs are fixed, in particular the one regarding the missing icon (one uses R-Commander to not use a terminal... so if he has to open a terminal to call it, it is weird).

So I ask to please sync the debian unstable version.

I'm very sorry, I missed the changed of an upstream release (1.4.7). I will update the bug, in the meanwhile Ubuntu Sponsors for universe can please unsuscribe. Sorry for the noise.

[Pietro Battiston (toobaz)]

I verified that r-cran-rcmdr 1.4-7.1-1 depends on a version of R not present in jaunty: again, sorry for disturbing, the bug is invalid.
