For a number of reasons, I have relaunched my R Ubuntu Blog. One is to give updates on installing R in Ubuntu, etc., which I have stopped doing. The other is I need to write more. I also wanted to try blogdown. You can find it here: http://rubuntu.netlify.com/
The first post is an update on the move to 3.5. The process is picking up speed. Up to 1730 packages in Xenial as I type this. As soon as they are all built and I test things, I will make the announcement.
I have also added a note to the Ubuntu CRAN site to help clarify the situation.
