Hi Johannes, ( And sorry about the fat-finger typo in the earlier email butchering your name.
No worries! Happens to the best of us - and to me as well :)
I really need to get proof-reading emails before sending... )

I found a nice offer from my hosting provider. The arm64 backports of R 4.5.1 to Debian 11 (bullseye) and 12 (bookworm) should hit the mirrors at midnight.
Thanks! I have enabled these backports in the containers on https://github.com/r-devel/containers such that folks can easily use these to test R or R packages on those platforms.
