Talking about silly, I just read up a bit on what travis and CI are. If installing R 2.15 with recommended packages from the CRAN Ubuntu repos is so difficult, I do not see the point in using that as a platform for testing R packages, or am I missing something here? Johannes
It would be cleaner to just build yourself a one-off 2.15 deb package, wget it onto the travis host and use it. Dirk -- Dirk Eddelbuettel | edd at debian.org | http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com
