R help - Mar 2009 - Updated R on Debian testing machine...

Hello!
I recently switched to Debian testing OS and explanation at the:
http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/
is a little bit fuzzy. Can anyone give step-by-step how-to have updated
R on Debian testing and/or unstable.

Thanks in advance!
PM

I just compile mine from scratch.  Debian ppc ibook G4.  I would be
interested how to do this also, but the compiling is not all that
difficult.  If you need help send me an email.

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.

Please consider subscribing to the r-sig-debian list and asking there.

In a nutshell:

i)   add one line to /etc/apt/sources.list
ii)  run 'sudo apt-get update'
iii) run 'sudo apt-get install r-base'

and you have a shiny new R 2.8.1 for Debian testing. [ Which right now you
could also take from Debian unstable but that isn't always possible. ]

The CRAN service is a good one, thanks to Vincent, Michael (for Ubuntu) and
Johannes for Debian to keep it running smoothly.
