similar to: Why is rstudio not in Ubuntu repo or PPA?

Dear All, I try not to bump too much, but I just tried Ubuntu 18.04, and it is not in repo and I still do not see any PPA available. If it would help, I can spend the time to explain why I believe it helpful to install using a command rather than webbrowser, but I think this is already understood why helpful, but it seems there is just a technical tricky problem to solve to implementation. Thank

Thank you so much for the explanation, JJ! It is very kind of you to give such detail and transparency. I am highly appreciative of it.

What keeps happening to us is that we end up requiring older or patched versions of Qt, which makes it challenging to be synced to whatever version of Qt happens to be in Debian/Ubuntu. Essentially we often need to vendor Qt, and that isn't something that is compatible with being in the standard Debian or Ubuntu repos (but may be compatible with Snaps or other packaging/bundling standards).

OK thank you for your reply! It is too bad the environment is not right yet in Ubuntu, but I will keep hoping that things work out. Thank you for all of your work!

Thanks so much for your explanatory details JJ and for all of your work. It is highly appreciated! I wonder if Qt 5.6 will be in the default repos for 16.04. That make a nice time for things to come together.

Yes, a PPA would definitely be great and we'll look into doing that soon.

Thanks Dirk, I wonder if I'm hitting problems you're not seeing not only because of running stretch/stable but also because of running the i386 version. I suspect most people are on 64 bit systems now. Anyway, I have managed to install Rstudio OK by going up to stretch-cran35. Rstudio wouldn't install from there: root at Toshiba-L750-Stretchi386:/etc/apt# apt-get install rstudio

Corrected packages are now on the RRutter PPA ( https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/rrutter) and soon on CRAN mirrors. If you have any issues or questions, please let me know.

Please be careful with upgrades to R 3.4.2. To cut a long story short, this has to do with minor internal changes in R 3.4.0 from April which require _some_ packages to be rebuilt. I argued for that approach (ie: incremental, careful, no side effects) within Debian, and lost. The _official_ packages in Debian now carry a new tag r-api-3.4 (as opposed to previous r-api-3) in order to force clean

Does anyone know where I can find a changelog for MASS? It's difficult to know whether I should ask my company to update the package or not. We are usually required to show the changelog, but I can't find one.

Since 14.04 is the Long Term Support version, which also is used by Linux Mint, it's not really outdated, and a lot of folk, myself included, use that stream (my machine says Linux Mint 17.1, but I think that is simply the splash screen). I say stream, because the kernel and other infrastructure are being updated, though probably not to the level Dirk prefers, and I do use other distros for

Timothy, The link from stackoverflow gave some bad advice, IMO. You should be using the RRutter PPA, not RDev. RDev is the where I build not-ready-for-prime-time versions of R, and sometimes they break other things. RRutter is what is used to seed CRAN. Here is the link: https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/rrutter I would remove the RDev PPA and install RRutter. The newest
