Michael,

Sounds great!

If it's any help, I put my solution in a bash script:

#!/bin/bash
KEY=/usr/local/share/keyrings/marutter.key

if [ -f "$KEY" ]; then
  echo "$KEY already exists"
  sudo apt install -y r-base
else
  wget -q -O marutter.key 
"https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xe298a3a825c0d65dfd57cbb651716619e084dab9";
  if ! file marutter.key | grep -q "PGP public key"; then
    echo "marutter.key does not appear to be a valid PGP key - aborting!"
    exit 1
  else
    sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/keyrings/
    sudo mv marutter.key /usr/local/share/keyrings/
    echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/local/share/keyrings/marutter.key] 
https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu groovy-cran40/" | sudo tee -a 
/etc/apt/sources.list
 fi
 sudo apt install -y r-base
fi

Nothing fancy by any means, but it works and could perhaps be useful.

Cheers,
Carl
