How embarassing!

Steffen Moeller had asked to sponsor two or three of his R packages. Fair enough, given that I maintain R itself as well as an increasing number of packages from CRAN, I can't really say no -- especially as his packaging was done well and straight along the recently posted Debian R Policy draft.

So I built those for him in December, even stuck them into the 0.4.9.2 release of Quantian I had prepared about the same time ... and then never uploaded them. Ouch. Shame on me, I suppose.

Steffen, being a nice guy, sent me a kind note today that he had prepared a new package based on a new upstream release of qtl, and gently reminded me of the RMySQL and DBI packages. Blush. Well, they are now on master, and even rolled RMySQL forward by a minor release. Or is that considered uncool? Another brown paper bag?
