Maybe, yes, as I find time. On the other hand I got several (informal, r-sig-debian mailing list and other places including ESS github repo) reports of failure after your first bug report when I "poorly" fixed ess as I broke older installation. Hence the (overdue anyway) move to elpa-ess. That one is one every CRAN mirror so everybody using that (for eg the Ubuntu R binaries) has it too and upgraded in place. I'll treat it as local for now. It's good to know that the basic elpa-* infrastructure works. Cheers, Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org
