Subject: Ubuntu and R
I've recently installed Ubuntu 5.10 on a desktop and need R installed,
however, even after uncommenting the repos associated with universe,
backports and multiverse, the packages available for Ubuntu are somewhat
out of date:
clint at simba:~$ apt-cache policy r-base r-base-core
r-base:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.1.1-1
Version table:
2.1.1-1 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/universe Packages
r-base-core:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.1.1-1
Version table:
2.1.1-1 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/universe Packages
How should I edit my /etc/apt/sources.list so that I can proplery
maintain a current version of R, and not break my system? I've searched
the forums at Ubuntu, and there are several similar requests there, but
no definitive answer that I found.
What are other Ubuntu users here doing to keep their version of R fresh?
Thanks,
Clint
