Users of R and Ubuntu, Due to the loss of a server, I have taken over the building of both the i386 and amd64 binaries of R for Ubuntu. Those builds are now being mirrored to the CRAN servers. A few things have changed. 1. The packages are now signed by me, not Vincent Goulet. You will have to add my key (E084DAB9) with apt-key. See http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ for more detailed instructions. 2. We will no longer be supporting rkward via CRAN. You can find the latest stable rkward builds as well as daily rkward builds at https://launchpad.net/~rkward-devel. 3. I am moving the build scripts that Vincent created and that used to be available on the CRAN page to Launchpad. I will proved links when that move is complete. 4. The packages found on CRAN are mirrored from a Launchpad PPA that I have created. You can find the PPA at https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter. There are some additional packages available, such as JAGS and coda. More packages will hopefully be made available in the future at the PPA. Thanks to Vincent Goulet for helping me transfer the building process from his servers to mine, as well as Stefan Theussl for getting things synced up to CRAN. Thanks to Dirk for updating some of the Debian packages, thus forcing me to get the system back on line. If there are any issues, please let me know. Michael -- Dr. Michael A.
