Dale,

Thanks for chiming in. Some very personal notes below:

I usually try my utmost not to.  Once packages are purge you cannot get them
back. I prefer to start an upgrade and back out if need be / if it would
remove package -- my go-to command is 'apt-get dist-upgrade' which allows that.

Yes though Michael has not yet announced these or declared them ready.

Good point. And often forgotten.

Yep.

Actually, no!  Those are the ones from r-cran-* packages, and I would leave
those alone.

That is a basic Ubuntu / Debian question. Try googling for some tutorials on
'how to I add repositories to Ubuntu' (or Debian).

That you get a pre-built binary (with more bells and whistles) and don't need
to compile.

That is called 'package managment' (at the Debian / Ubuntu level).  Again,
tty some tutorials there.  This is orthogonal to R use.

One issues, to update recommended packages in '/usr/lib/R/site-library,,
must start R as sudoer, ie. 'sudo R'

[R-sig-Debian] R on Ubuntu

[Aguirre Perez, Roman]

Hi everyone,

first of all, my sincerest thanks for the maintainers of this massive project. 
Such a compelling task!

Briefly, I’m a PhD student working on Spatial Stats who loves R. Last week I 
decided to install and use Ubuntu (again). Consequently, I install the latest 
release (18.04) and tried to install R 3.5.0 as well but (un)fortunately I 
couldn’t.

I have used R within Ubuntu and I use to follow the installation procedure 
suggested in the R-project website. However, this time was a bit different. I 
realised I was missing a key fact. There’s plenty of work behind making 
available R packages for Ubuntu! It briefly showed up in front of my eyes the 
meaning of each installation step. That’s why I’m here. So I would really 
appreciate you to enlighten me with your knowledge. I really want to go in 
depth on the relationship R-Ubuntu. Btw, any resource for learning is more than 
welcome.

In this sense, which is the meaning of starting to install R by adding

deb https://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/bin/linux/ubuntu 
bionic/

in the source.list file?

I realised that I’m able to compile

sudo apt-get install r-base

without doing the first step. Which is the difference between each one?

Now that I’m more aware I know that it isn’t so straightforward to mirror to 
CRAN and I have to hold my horses a bit more jeje. So should I install previous 
of both R and Ubuntu? I mean, does it take a long time to have a mirrored 
version?


Best,
Roman.

[R-sig-Debian] R for ubuntu 10.04?

[Tengfei Yin]

Hi dear all

I am currently using Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) and R 2.10, I can find a R release
that support karmic in cran under ubuntu directory, I plan to update my
laptop to Ubuntu 10.04 after April 30, since I have to use some new features
or new version in it, e.g. QT 4.6,  I don't know if there is going to be a R
release that will support this newly released Ubuntu?

Thanks in advance!

Best wishes

Tengfei

[Michael Rutter]

Tengfei,

Yes, there will be packages for 10.04 (lucid lynx) available on CRAN.  I 
have done some testing and things should work fine.  It takes a couple 
of days for the packages to hit CRAN, so please be patient.  If you did 
upgrade, there are R packages in universe that you can install based on 
the version of R that is available about 2 months before the Ubuntu release.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for sharing this good news and your/your colleagues' work on that!
I will be patient and waiting for it being officially released in the CRAN.

Thanks again!

As Michael said, it will.  

In the meantime, you can __already upgrade to R 2.11.0__ which has available
since last week.  So update your Karmic release to a new R now, and then
upgrade your Ubuntu relase from Karmic to Lucid once Ubuntu releases.
