You can get the commands | that the R packages are built with, along with the source code. Make | a directory (this will download a bunch of stuff) | | apt-get source r-base-core
I often recommend that too but ... | | that should download a tarball of original R source code, a diff file | that is applied to build R deb, and it will open the code and apply | the diff. You can look inside the directory, in a subdirectory | "debian", where the configure files that control package building are | kept. ... if all you want is, say, the configure invocation then you are better off just downloading the associated 'diff.gz' file which will be much, much smaller. Dirk | If you type "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" in the directory where all | that stuff got opened up (the one "above" the debian subdirectory), it | will build the debian packages. It would not be an incredibly | difficult thing to replace that R source package with the new one you | want to use. But I don't think you need to. Just look in the rules | file under debian subdirectory, you will see the configure statement | they use. I think in there you'll also find information about what | devel packages they assume you have. | | I find it to be a little difficult to revise debian builds, so I don't | really mean you ought to do that.
