I have been wondering for some time if / how we could provide 'r-devel' as a deb for those interested. But I am not sure how to do it well from a technical standpoint. It probably makes less sense to be as fine-grained as the 'release' version of R is with its 10 packages. One quick and easy way would be to just configure with a prefix of /usr/lib/r-devel and install the R frontend as Rdevel. Is there a feeling in the esteemed audience that this would be a good thing? How often would you want to see this updated? Monthly? How would we stop it from going to Debian testing (and possibly be 'older' than a released R in unstable) ? Keep to Debian 'experimental' ? Are there better suggestions about how to do this?
