Odd -- dumping the lynx output through grep reveals several finds of Debian
or debian:

   Debian packages, maintained by Dirk Eddelbuettel and Doug Bates, have
   long been part of the Debian distribution, and can be accessed through
   APT, the Debian package maintenance tool. Use e.g. apt-get install

I couldn't find anything on the R FAQ's mentioning Debian
specifically.  And a simple search for 'upgrade' in the FAQ also
turned up nothing.  I even used Google to search for a way to upgrade
R using CRAN, with no relevant results.  After a little bit of
searching around the CRAN site I found this :

Which was all the information I needed.  Thanks for all the help.

Yes. 

Please re-read the entire message I sent you yesterday as it already

Hope this helps, Dirk

Is there anyway to upgrade my R install through CRAN?  Or is there
some Debian repository that has an upgraded version of R?

Thanks again.

In which case 

$ apt-get install r-cran-car

is your friend.  

2.1.0 is ancient, so you could take advantage of the backport of the current
R the Debian stable which Chris Steigies provides -- and that is on every
CRAN mirror as detailed in the R FAQ.

Hth, Dirk

Re: [R] install.packages saying the car package is not in therepositories

2006-03-08 Thread John Fox
Dear Jeremy,

The car package (version 1.1-0) is certainly on CRAN. I checked a couple of
mirrors, and it's there as well. (I assume that .Library contains the
library location to which you want to install?) What OS and version of R are
you using?

Regards,
 John
