R 1.6.1 has been scheduled for November 1. We're makin interim beta versions available via http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base (ftp://cran.us.r-project.org/pub/R/src/base used to work, but apparently FTP access has been disabled) The filename is R-1.6.1beta_*.tar.gz, where * is the creation date.
Debian packages were uploaded for i386 last evening, and have already been compiled successfully for six other architectures (alpha arm hppa ia64 powerpc and m68k). The remaining four (m68k mips mipsel sparc) should follow shortly. My i386 release was built on 'testing' (aka 'sarge') and should be installable on any testing or unstable machine. The other architectures may require the unstable release.
If you want to help ensure that the final 1.6.1 works satisfactorily on *your* platform, it might be a good idea to make a test build of the beta and report any errors back (to the r-devel list, not to me personally, please!).
No issues to report.
New versions will be made available each day until the final release, barring hardware trouble and build script failures.
As with the 1.[456].* prereleases, I will probably stick to weekly snapshots. Dirk
