R SIG Debian - May 2018 - Ubuntu 18.04 bionic: availability of R Ubuntu packages/ppa?

Hi

I just upgraded to the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and tried to add both the "Ubuntu
packages" source as well as ppa. I was not able to do this, trying to add
for example:

deb http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic/
or using: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/c2d4u

am I doing something wrong, or just being impatient? Are there any plans to
build these repos in the near future?

Big thanks to the maintainers for the great work :-)

Yes, yes, and yes.  ;-)

This has been discussed here before, maybe just scroll back through the
archives if you want to catch up.

Michael has R 3.5.0 itself for bionic:

    https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/rrutter3.5
    
and a new '3.5' next to one you used above:

    https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/c2d4u3.5

None of this is 'ready' yet in the sense of being mirrored to CRAN. That
said, and because he is awesome, that last repo is already at 400+ packages.

"Eventually" it should cover the other LTS variants.

Thanks, we try. Not too much infrastructure that we have built so these
transitions can be slow.  On my side, Debian has one schedules but not yet
started.  And on my own Ubuntu machines, I converted one to R 3.5 with those
binaries from rrutter3.5 -- but us mostly direct-from-CRAN-sources
installation.  The machine I am typing this on is still at 17.10 and R 3.4.4,
as is my Travis use.

awesome, merci Dirk!

and my apologies for not scrolling down better, I failed to see that the
18.04 update was linked to the R 3.5 issue .

Further, please forgive my impatience, but I was very curious to see if the
package tidyverse could be installed:  I have the impression that it is
short of being installed, missing just a few simple packages (with no
apparent non-R dependencies). Indeed, a first naive look shows following
unavailable dependencies for tidyverse:

## missing for tidyverse:
modelr (ok!?)
reprex:
  -callr
     -debugme
        -covr
          -rex (ok!?)
  -rmarkdown (ok!?)
rvest: selectr (ok!?)

I hope that these package could be considered in a near future Michael?
Thanks! :-)

Best,

Matthieu
