This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-readxl package of readxl. The readxl package let R read xls and xlsx files. It was written by Hadley Wickham. 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 'readxl' to 'r-cran-readxl to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for R.
