Is there a repository from which I can install a recent version of ess as a Debian/Ubuntu package for amd_64? On the Ubuntu list of packages the released version of ess for hardy is 5.3.0-1 which seems, well, ancient. I see that there is a 5.3.8 version from the SVN sources for intrepid but IIRC trying to install that bring you into all the fun with pinning, etc. It seems there is a binary debian package in the download site for the ess sources but that is for the i386 architecture and I think one would need to override the architecture to install that one. Would it be possible to add ess to the list of Debian/Ubuntu packages that are available on the CRAN archive? I got the impression that it might already be but I don't see it there.

After a period of quiet, the new version is in Debian. I'm running 5.3.8~svn3902-1. I'm not sure if that's what you were referring to with SVN; it's a Debian package. Ross

It wasn't one of the packages Michael and I supported. Since it is not much work, I added it. It's on its way to CRAN now. My understanding is that the package is the same for all architectures.
