lenny-cran AMD64
Hi Johannes. Thanks for the prompt response. I am using these backports on all of my personal machines (two workstations and two laptops) as well as on servers connected to our research group. The availability of these backports along with some hard to build packages (such as Dirk's r-cran-rsprng) convinced me about three years ago to switch completely to Debian (before that I was using both CENTOS and Debian). Take care, Kouros PS The etch R backports are also installed on my daughter's computer so that she will have access to R as soon as she is old enough to use it. She is only four and I am proud to report that she knows how to start up iceweasel to get to the "my little pony" page (she does not recognize IE).

It is good to know that someone is actually using these backports :) The amd64 builds of R 2.9.0 for lenny are under way and I anticipate they will appear sometime during this week. Sorry for the delay, Johannes * Kouros Owzar <kouros.owzar at duke.edu> [090421 20:40]:
Hi. First, I would like to thank all the contributors to this project for their efforts. Given that we primarily use Debian and R as our
computing
platform, having access to these backports has been very beneficial. I have been looking in the last couple of days for AMD64 lenny
backports
of the R 2.9.0 packages in lenny-cran. Will these appear in due course
or
are there issues backporting to AMD64 (I have noticed the AMD64
backports
for etch are already in etch-cran)? Thanks, Kouros [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
