It would be cleaner to just build yourself a one-off 2.15 deb package, wget it onto the travis host and use it.
I could as well host a PPA on LaunchPad. Could you point me at the scripts you use to build the official CRAN bits?
you can use the sources deb-src http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/ together with these simple scripts: http://kriemhild.uft.uni-bremen.de/viewvc/r-backports/build_r-base.sh?revision=83&view=markup and http://kriemhild.uft.uni-bremen.de/viewvc/r-backports/build_others.sh?revision=92&view=markup Johannes
All the packages that you need are on the Ubuntu CRAN site (I believe), the trick is convincing Ubuntu to install the correct ones. One solution would be to ge here: http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/precise/ Manually download the packages you need. Look for dates around March 2, 2013. That is the was the day 2.15.3 was created for Ubuntu. Once you have downloaded the packages, install them using "dpkg". Michael
