This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-rsclient package of RSclient, an R package which provides a client for Rserve, allowing to connect to Rserve instances and issue commands. RSclient was written by Simon Urbanek. This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel . The sources were downloaded from the main CRAN site http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/ and are also available from all CRAN mirrors as e.g. http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/ The package was renamed from its upstream name 'RSclient' to 'r-cran-rsclient' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) Debian R packages.
