R 3 and Debian Testing

Dear All, I am using Debian testing on multiple machine machines at home. This is my source list deb http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free So, my repositories always point to the latest Debian testing, even now after the new release of Debian 7. I am wondering if, after the new release of Debian 7, R 3 will become routinely available to me, without the need to add any specific repository.
Yes, I believe R 3 will enter testing at some point and you will get it this way. I am currently preparing a wheezy repository on CRAN with R 3.0, so you could also use that once it is there. However, at the moment there are r-cran-* packages (e.g. r-cran-abind) and other things (e.g. python-rpy2) in jessie (testing) that are not compatible with R 3.0, as the versions rebuilt using R 3.0 have not propagated to testing yet. Kind regards, Johannes
Cheers Lorenzo
