I am running 32-bit and a 64-bit Linux Mint Debian systems and the 
latest R has not yet appeared whereas it has on a Xubuntu box. Is the 
Debian update out yet?

Hello,

You can check at
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/squeeze-cran/ that it has
not.

Best regards,

You can check the Debian 'package page' here:

	http://packages.qa.debian.org/r/r-base.html

R 2.13.1 was uploaded to Debian unstable the morning of its release.

What is available on CRAN is a supplementary service which (for Debian) is
provided by Johannes as explained in the README there.0

So why are you asking about Debian when you are running Mint.  Are you mixing
binaries from different distribution?

Hi,

I am just uploading R 2.13.1 packages for Debian squeeze and Debian lenny to 
my server from where it will be synchronised, probably still tonight, to the 
CRAN master.

Kind regards,

Johannes

According to 
http://landorsplace.wordpress.com/2011/07/11/weekend-wrap-up/, 
Mint LMDE can be seen as a real debian , but with a ca-one month lag (__if__ 
everything is OK, and __if__ they keep their choices). They add more user 
friendly (at least they claim) installers and interfaces, which are not likely 
to interfere with R or its dependencies, and non-free drivers (which ere not 
likely...) .... Their intended audience is likely to be beginners (but, as R is 
more difficult than bash scripting and OS installing, is Mint -rather meant for 
video/music playing, without too many efforts- necessary?).

You can point mint update at the debian testing repository if you want a 
true rolling update (and know how to fix things when they break) or at 
the mint repositories if you want the Mint folks to gather up and test 
out things for a month before they pass the updates on to you. The Mint 
debian experience is about the same as Ubuntu 10.10 - you can do real 
work if you want or just fool around. I think it is a great platform for 
using R and RStudio/StatET.

What astonishes me is that :

a) there are , today, _no_ official claims that Mint LMDE is debian (the way 
packages are handled, to day, is second hand information... there are no clear 
details in a FAQ, which would be natural); unless I missed an IT link...(the 
link I found was from unofficial -fora, ...- "sources")


b) there is no information (except for fan bois enthusiasms and credo in fora ) 
that LMDE *will * remain debian (Two years ago, Mint wanted to rebase on ... 
Fedora... because of troubles with UBUntu, or of fashion, or???)
 If they often change their minds, "real work" maintaining might become a 
surrealistic nightmare for users (there are hundreds of fancy GNUlinux 
distributions/sects where R can be installed -a working gcc and some headers is 
"enough"-, with the same results than on a stable, well maintained GNU linux 
distributions: the difference relies on the long term).
