Dear all,

You can now find i386 and amd64 packages of R 2.9.1 compiled for lenny
in the usual place on CRAN.

I have switched from using permanent schroot environments to exclusively
using pbuilder, in order to check build dependencies as early in the
process as possible.

Is anyone in need of an R 2.9.1 backport to etch (oldstable)? I do not
need it myself, so I am thinking of leaving it at R 2.9.0 for etch.

Johannes, nobody else seems to have replied to the list but I for one would welcome continued backports to etch-cran although it is not necessary to have all the minor releases (if that is the right name, the ones which only differ after the second .). Perhaps I should say why? I have a netbook (EEEPC) which would probably be tricky to upgrade and I am not yet confident enough to wipe the whole thing and restart with Ubuntu.

Thanks to you and the others on the team who make installation so straightforward enough for novices like me.

Kind regards, and happy R-ring,

Johannes
