Hi.
I would like to thank Johannes, Piet and others for the lenny-cran AMD64
ports.
I have a question about r-recommended from lenny-cran which I just
installed:
hotelling:~$ apt-cache policy r-recommended
r-recommended:
Installed: 2.9.0-1~lennycran.0
Candidate: 2.9.0-1~lennycran.0
Version table:
2.9.0-1 0
600 http://debian.lcs.mit.edu unstable/main Packages
*** 2.9.0-1~lennycran.0 0
625 http://cran.fhcrc.org lenny-cran/ Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2.8.1-2~lennycran.0 0
625 http://cran.fhcrc.org lenny-cran/ Packages
2.7.1-1+lenny1 0
750 http://debian.lcs.mit.edu lenny/main Packages
Why is it that r-cran-boot from lenny (not lenny-cran) is installed
hotelling:~$ apt-cache policy r-cran-boot
r-cran-boot:
Installed: 1.2.33-1
Candidate: 1.2.33-1
Version table:
1.2.36-1 0
600 http://debian.lcs.mit.edu unstable/main Packages
1.2.36-1~lennycran.2.9.0 0
625 http://cran.fhcrc.org lenny-cran/ Packages
*** 1.2.33-1 0
750 http://debian.lcs.mit.edu lenny/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I had been under the assumption (this may reflect my rather limited
understanding of APT) that r-recommended from lenny-cran would
automatically pull the recommended packages (e.g., survival, boot, etc)
from lenny-cran.
Take care,
Kouros

I prepared it now for Johannes; as soon as he is able to fetch the files, submit them and the mirrors pick up there will be a r-cran-boot debian package for lennycran amd64.
