R SIG Debian - May 2013 - Backporting R 3.0.0 to Quantal, Precise, and Lucid

Today (May 4, 2013) I will begin the process of backporting R 3.0.0 to
Quantal, Precise, and Lucid.  This will include all the recommended
packages and the packages for R found in the universe repository for
Ubuntu.  Things to keep in mind:

- If you do not want to receive these upgrades and you use the CRAN
repositories or my Launchpad PPA, please remove them from your apt/synaptic
sources lists.  This will keep you on your current versions.

- You could pin the old versions (search google for "apt pinning"),
but
since updates will only be coming for R 3.0.0, it is easier to just remove
the repositories.

- This should be complete by Monday, but it may take longer depending on
server load.

After the update process, base R and the recommended packages will be found
on [CRAN](http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/) while all the other
packages can be found at my [PPA](
https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter).
