Dear all, I have just completed the backport of the newly released R 3.3.0 to Debian jessie for the CRAN repository, together with the usual update of the other (recommended) packages supplied there.
It will hit the CRAN mirrors shortly. For wheezy, I do not plan to backport R 3.3.0, as this would entail backporting, and keeping up to date with security releases, a couple of other packages, triggered by the versioned dependency on curl >= 7.28. Also, R 3.2.5 is considered a very stable release ("Very, Very Secure Dishes"), so I think this matches the requirements of people still running wheezy. On another note, the backport of R 3.2.5 that Andreas Tille prepared, was just accepted to jessie-backports. In my mind, this is a first step towards complementing the CRAN backports (which feature only three architectures) and maybe even superseeding them in the future.
