It has taken a long time, but cran2deb4ubuntu has been updated for R 3.0.1. Over 1000 R packages are available as .deb files (with dependencies) for Ubuntu 13.04 (raring), 12.10 (quantal) and 12.04 (precise). These packages can be found at the [c2d4u PPA](https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/c2d4u). Instructions on how to install the PPA can be found on this webpage. Hopefully, I have updated every package. If one has slipped through the cracks, please let me know via mail. The package list is based on the the CRAN Task Views, so if a package you use is missing, the best way to get it into c2d4u is to get it added to an appropriate Task View. Michael
