Hi, where can I find the most up-to-date Debian packages for R and sources in USA. I will be thankful for the location that I can include in my sources.list. Are their any special recommendations or instructions for building and maintaining R on Debian? A web-link will be helpful. ---anupam. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I will be thankful for the location that I can include in my sources.list.Ahem, that is more a question for debian-user at lists,debian.org, not r-help. R 1.7.1 is part of "sid" aka "unstable", you can point to any of the mirrors listed in http://www.debian.org/mirror/list which includes one primary and maybe three dozen secondary mirrors in the US alone. Your apt-get man pages will tell you about source depends, but it as simple as deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free in /etc/apt/sources.list.> Are their any special recommendations or instructions for building and > maintaining R on Debian? A web-link will be helpful.Do you have any specific reason why the packages Doug Bates and I have been maintaining for over half a decade aren't good enough? Dirk -- Don't drink and derive. Alcohol and analysis don't mix.
The most updated version is usually the official one, these days. Dirk is an excellent maintainer.

Hi As Dirk said before, if you're running unstable, the official version is surely the best. If you're running testing though, you're probably better off using the apt sources listed in http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/ReadMe since there are some dependency hassles with installing the unstable version on testing (at least I got tired of going through all the dependency stuff).
