R SIG Debian - Feb 2013 - rmpi backports?

We have a cluster running squeeze (amd64) that uses CRAN (squeeze-cran 
directory) to get more recent versions of R packages.

Unfortunately, many cluster-related packages, including rmpi and rsprng 
are missing.  The basic squeeze version of rmpi won't load because it 
doesn't have a namespace.

Any suggestions about how to deal with this?

Thanks.

Install into /usr/local, that is what it is for:


edd at max:~$ ls -1 /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/ | wc -l
256
edd at max:~$
