Hi,
I updated the README in the bin/linux/debian directory with
some words about how to circumvent firewalls if they don't let
gpg fetch keys. Comments or improvements are welcome.
On another note, I reformatted the README file, so if I now
run
txt2html README > README.html
I get an HTML version, which is shown together with the
directory listing on CRAN.
Greetings to all,
Johannes
