similar to: cran2deb repository and Squeeze?

Some packages are available in cran2deb and Debian. After adding cran2deb to my sources.list it seems the cran2deb ones are favored because X.Y-ZcranN is "more recent" than X.Y-Z. In the case of r-cran-rmpi the effect of this was to cause aptitude to want to uninstall all my mpi stuff. Apparently the automatically generated package doesn't have mpi as a dependency. I just put a

Announcing cran2deb: 1700+ Debian packages from almost all of CRAN ------------------------------------------------------------------ Last Friday's presentation at UseR! 2009 was the first really public mention of 'cran2deb'. It provides Debian packages of all of CRAN. It started as Charles' project from last year's Google Summer of Code, was further extended by us over the

Dear All, I am running (X)Ubuntu 9.10 for the amd64 architecture on both my laptop e desktop. I came across the posts http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1336062 http://www.mail-archive.com/r-sig-debian at r-project.org/msg00892.html So it looks like that I will not be able to safely use cran2deb together with Ubuntu, but I simply would like to make sure that this is the way things

Dear Michael, I was looking up the status of the cran2deb effort and notice that you now have a PPA where new packages are landing and being built for Ubuntu. It looks like this is still a work in progress, but is already a fantastic resource for me and I hope it is something that you can continue to operate. I'm now installing many of these packages but some things I need are missing.

I'm running Debian Squeeze on an amd64 machine and currently have R 2.15.3. Some packages have been installed with aptitude and some with install.packages(). Now I'd like to update R to 3.0.2 (I upgraded arm to a version that requires 3.0 :-( ), and I'm a confused. - http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/ seems to say I just change the sources list to point to

I'm trying to install libguestfs on Debian squeeze installed from http://people.debian.org/~bengen/libguestfs/ It does not work. Here are the details: I was able to install libguestfs-tools and its dependencies. However, aptitude removed the following two packages: qemu and qemu-system. I'm not sure if it's okay or not. If I try to install those packages back, I get the

Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 with cran2deb packages (I know it's meant for Debian, it's worked fine for me for many months). Recently apt-get update has to started to complain: ...

What is the relation between the cran2deb repository, http://debian.cran.r-project.org/, and the debian repositories at CRAN, http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/? I've studied the pages and this list, but am unsure I've got it right. My understanding is that cran2deb had almost all packages, targets testing, and currently is only supported for i386. It appears the debian repo at

Dear all Recently I noticed that there are name clashes between the packages proposed in the Debian testing repos and cran2deb. For example, Synaptic proposes to upgrade from xtable 1.5-6-1cran1 (cran2deb, up-to-date CRAN version) to 1.5.5-1 (testing, older version). Is there anything that can be done about these clashes?

summary: updating R .deb's from recommended mirrors @ http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html has allowed me to keep my R version up-to-date for many months.

Hi All, just to check, is cran2deb available for Karmic Koala (ideally also for a amd_64)? Cheers, Fede -- Federico C. F.

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else (didn't see it), but is cran2deb fully compatible with Ubuntu? Novice question: I use install.packages() within R. The pros of using sudo apt-get instead seem obvious, but are there any cons I should know about?

Dear all, I installed the amd64 cran2deb [1] JGR binaries on a fresh Debian testing, and JGR is missbehaving. When JGR starts up, one core of the CPU goes to 100% and stays there, even though I am keeping it idle and not performing any operation. I tried JGR with both sun-java6-jdk and openjdk-6-jdk, debian-liv:/home/liviu# update-alternatives --config java There are 4 choices for the alternative

Hi, I was wondering whether there was plans to support again cran2deb for the amd64 architecture soon. I got updates recently so I was wondering whether amd64 packages were uploaded or if I was only getting architecture independent packages... Thanks for your great work! cran2deb is awesome, looking forward to have it again fully operational again for amd64! Best, A.

For awhile, at least a week and probably more, aptitude has been complaining that R packages are untrusted. I'm using the amd64 architecture. The packages are r-cran-{cluster,mass,zoo,matrix,digest}. There have been a couple of recent threads that seem related, but I'm having trouble interpreting them or their relevance. i386 is apparently unsigned, but I'm on amd64. There is some
