Hi Johannes, I didn't know what would be the best approach to modify the page?how it was generated, is there a central place, etc.?which is why I posted on r-sig-debian in the first place. Anyway, although I'm more or less familiar with markdown and pandoc, it was easier for me to edit directly README.html as it was on CRAN. Please find attached a revision with the modifications I

Dear Johannes, Thanks a lot for this work! I have to admit that I'm now a little bit puzzled, though. I'm running Debian Jessie (current testing) with great satisfaction. When it comes to R, I simply have the SID repository (official Debian) enabled, with some pining to get only R-related stuff. Now, I'm not sure to understand the benefit of using the CRAN repository for Jessie?I

Thanks Johannes to clarify this point. It makes more sense to me now. So I understand that the idea is to make it simpler without apt-pinning for less adventurous people (I mean normal people :)): just add jessie-cran3 repo and you're good to go. Am I also correct that jessie-cran3 is essentially a backport of Debian SID, with some (short?) delay? In other words, modulo a couple of days,

Hi Mathieu, thanks for your input. It reminds me how I got involved in the Debian backports, as I thought the Debian README on CRAN needed an update... At the moment I do not have the time to reorganize the README, so if you would like to go ahead and implement your changes into a README.html, I wouldn't mind. Otherwise I am willing to pick up your suggestions, but it will take me some

Dear all, I have bad RAM on the machine that I am using to create the backports, so I need to replace it. It took me a while to figure it out... While I was able to create the backport after several iterations with spurious segfaults, I will not upload it as I am not sure if it could be corrupted in some way. I hope to be able to upload a clean backport of R 3.4.1 during the rest of the week

Dear all, i have re-installed Debian on my computer and for some reason I cannot install some packages anymore using the install.package command from the R console.

Yes, but beware that I only do backports of the packages listed in the Debian README on CRAN. Kind regards, Johannes Am Donnerstag, 26.

Dear Mathieu, dear list, if you have successfully set up apt pinning for R packages, then you have the most up-to date Debian packages for R at your fingertips. I set up the repository for Debian jessie so people do not have to use apt pinning in order to get Debian 3.1.2 on jessie. Plus, when jessie is released, the repository is already there, and after the release of jessie it is likely

Hi all, I started recently to use R with linux(ubuntu) but I often get code written under windows or mac. I have two questions. When I encounter a function which is not in R linux what is the best way to find the right linux function for it? So next time I can help myself. I browsed the web for a long time and could not find anything to the the function zip.unpack. Thats actually my second

Hi Mathieu, thanks for contributing your tips on apt pinning on Debian testing. I have included similar instructions in the Debian README for the situation where testing was frozen. This time I thought I would get around to provide proper binaries for testing quickly enough, but I need to get some other work done, so I am lagging behind here. If someone could provide some lines with nice

Hi everybody I try to update R 3.1.1 to R 3.2.2 on a Debian Jessie (8.2) server.
