I would like to install the latest version of R (the statistical computing software). This is package r-base version 2.2.0 and is in the debian 'unstable' repository. Otherwise my system has 'sarge' packages, including r-base 2.1.0. What is the best way to do this? If I don't want to upgrade to unstable, must I compile R myself, or is there some way to install this as a debian package?
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#Are-there-Unix-binaries-for-R_003f I haven't build 2.2.0 yet, but I will probably do it next weekend. R 2.1.1 is available and you should be able to install it without too many problems (you might have to remove a lot of r-cran packages which I all put into the r-recommended package for the backport, I'll try to fix that for the next version).
