This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-timedate package of timeDate, a
set of function for chronological and calendarical objects. It is part
of Rmetrics, a collection of packages for financial engineering and
computational finance. Both timeDate and Rmetrics were written and
compiled primarily by Diethelm Wuertz.
This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>.
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 'timeDate' to
'r-cran-timedate' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for
R.
