Greetings! I would be very grateful if someone could supply a suitable line to enter into /etc/apt/sources.list for the benefit of a complete dummy user (i.e. me -- I do not want to have to do any interpretation, guesswork, reading of docs, etc.; I want to just copy it in).
The machine in question is an Intel laptop, wuth Debian Lenny (according to the Debian website the current stable version as of 12 Feb 2010). The current contents of /etc/apt/sources.list are: ======= deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny main ======= I had not been using this machine for running R, until I tried it yesterday and was shocked to find that the R version installed is R 2.7.1 (2008-06-23) compared with the version I have on my regular machine, which is R 2.11.0 (2010-04-22). Then I was shocked, on visiting the Debian Lenny webpage, to find that the currently held version of R is the same as the above: "2.7.1-1+lenny" for all the basic R packages. No wonder I have not been getting updates! I am located in the UK. What should I put in /etc/apt/sources.list ? (Maybe more than one line, if that would be relevant to installing/updating a variety of R packages). With thanks, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[email protected]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 05-Jun-10 Time: 14:23:07 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Debian mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
