R package MASTER_SITES

[Brook Milligan <brook%nmsu.edu@localhost>]

It turn out that many (all?) of the R packages have a line like the following in their Makefiles:

MASTER_SITES=  ${MASTER_SITE_R_CRAN:=contrib/}

This is redundant with the same line in math/R/Makefile.extension, which all R packages should be including anyway.  I would like to remove these extra lines in individual packages in favor of the master version defined in math/R/Makefile.extension.  This will simplify individual R packages and the common single definition will actually be used as intended.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Brook
