Dear list, I've drafted an article on installing geographic R packages on Linux computers and would appreciate any feedback. Is the following text correct, useful and future-proof?: R?s spatial packages can be installed from source on recent (since Ubuntu 19.04) versions of this popular operating system, once the appropriate repository has been set-up, meaning faster install times (only a

My strategy will be to jump to R 3.5 when I upgrade

Binaries for R 3.5.0 are now available at a new PPA: https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/rrutter3.5 These have not been mirrored to CRAN as I want to have the other r-cran packages built against R 3.5 before adding to CRAN. Worried about breaking working systems currently on R 3.4.4. Status updates on my twitter account @marutterstat. Michael

Hello All, When I try to install r-base-dev on my Ubuntu 16.04 it gives me the following error r-base-dev : Depends: dh-r but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Many thanks Dirk, kind-of makes sense and I think my 'hold your horses' attitude is probably safest for now. Two follow-up questions: - Roughly how long will it be until "everything has been rebuilt"? - Could this seemingly new project help manage external deps: https://github.com/r-hub/sysreqsdb ?

Hi I tried to use Michael's ppa after having installed Ubuntu 20.04 and R 4, and it seems the ppa is not available now for 20.04, I get message: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/marutter/c2d4u3.5/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file Am I doing something wrong, or is it correct that it is not available yet? Are there any plans to implement it at some point?

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

Dear Debian persons I would like enquire about whether the repository deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/ I tried to follow the instructions and I cannot get R3.5.1 - I get R3.4.4??? I have been able to install R3.5.1 on Ubuntu 16.02 using the xenial-cran35/ repository & so not sure if the bionic link is up to date? thanks in advance Regards Alison

Hello all, i am one of the maintainers of the open-source https://repo2docker.readthedocs.io/ tool. The tool builds a container image from a directory. Depending on what it finds in the directory it will install different software for the user. The focus of the tool is to make it easier for researchers to create environments in which their code runs and can then be used to share and reproduce

Michael, ESS broke again on my laptop after I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.10. The elpa-ess package seems to be provided multiple times, sadly the one with xenial (16.04) in its name wins ... and breaks the setup. I one for cosmic, I had one from bionic (18.04), but because the names 'wrapped' the 'x' wins over 'b' and 'c'. We had talked about that in the past, it

I noticed that R 4.0.0 is now available for ubuntu on CRAN. I attempted to do a clean install on 18.04 using: sudo apt install r-base after adding deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran40/ to /etc/apt/sources.list. Unfortunately, apt reports that r-recommend is a dependency and it won't be installed. Upon inspecting the R4.0 repos r-recommend is missing not only for
