R SIG Debian - May 2007 - R 2.5.0 packages for Debian stable/etch

Dear list,

R 2.5.0 packages for Debian stable (i386 and amd64) are now available
from CRAN.

The new recommended codetools and rcompgen packages haven't completely
made it to Debian yet, but can of course be installed in the standard 
non-Debian ways.

Please consult the README file in the Debian directory, and report
problems to me directly or to this list.

Best regards,

Johannes Ranke

Dear Johannes,

your first R-build (without codetools and rcompgen) uploaded at CRAN
worked just fine, and when I discovered that you have provided another
build including both above-mentioned packages, I have upgraded flawlessly.
However, I have noticed that rcompgen installed under
/usr/lib/R/site-library, unlike all the other recommended packages.

Is this intended behaviour or a bug in the backport-packages?

Otherwise everything works OK sofar, and (last but not least) I'd like to
thank you for providing the R backports to Debian R-users!

Greets,
Ivailo
