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).
Ted, have you tried the line you can find by following the links from your favourite CRAN via R binaries, linux, debian?
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).
