Gents,

Switching to English from a heads-up Diethelm sent to me re the Debian
packages:

Looking at CRAN this morning I see that indeed we have

a number of new packages.  It will take me a while to get these into Debian.
As for RMetrics Core, I never saw much of a discussion.  Was there one?

Just from the top of my head, why is eg fAsianOptions not part of
fExoticOptions? I am sure others have other questions.  

I also see that fPortfolio, for which Diethelm warned me of an inappropriate
license/copyright for Debian, is not in the list.  Is that because of the
copyright (which I'd applaud) or 'merely' because it didn't pass R CMD check
for other reasons?

Cheers, Dirk
