Dear users of CRAN R packages for Debian, as I currently only have a very bad internet connection, packaging of R 2.7.2 for CRAN (backport to Debian etch) will be delayed quite a bit. If anybody wants to step forward and supply packages, please go ahead, I can help with copying them to CRAN. In this case, you might want to look at the repository where I keep my backporting scripts. For my part, it will take a while till I get it done. Sorry for any inconvenience that might be cause by this. Kind regards, Johannes -- Dr. Johannes Ranke jranke at uni-bremen.de
