R SIG Debian - Apr 2010 - Re : Install latest R version from apt on Lenny

OK, thanks both. I'll try that. I suspect (very strongly) that it comes from
the fact that I did not replace the cran mirror line by an actulal cran mirror
URLs... I will give a look at all my backports this weekend and do a little
cleaning too!

thanks,
 
David Biau.

Hi,

if you want the latest R version on lenny, please follow the instructions in 
the README that Dirk gave already pointed to:

    http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/

Installing packages with the method Denis just sketched is much more 
cumbersome as dependencies are not automatically resolved.

Note that in the line 

    deb http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian lenny-cran/

you need to substitude <favorite-cran-mirror> by one of the mirror URLs
listed
in

    http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html

Kind regards,

Johannes

Hi David,

I will add a note in the README in order to help avoid this problem with the 
backport of R 2.11.0 I am currently building.

Kind regards,

Johannes
