The R 2.7.0 packages for Ubuntu on i386 and amd64 are on their way to CRAN. Please note the new release support policy: we now support all stable Desktop releases of Ubuntu until their official end of life date. As of Thursday (we're a day or two ahead, here), these are Hardy Heron (8.04), Gutsy Gibbon (7.10), Feisty Fawn (7.04) and Dapper Drake (6.06). This means that CRAN will have more recent R packages for Hardy when it is released Thursday. For more information, see the Ubuntu README in http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ Please report problems to the R-SIG-Debian forum, where messages have the greatest chance to be noticed. --- Vincent Goulet, Associate Professor ?cole d'actuariat Universit?
