Hi Dirk, Thanks for your reply which clarifies the issue. Nevertheless, where am I to find the key for cran2deb for debian testing? And another question (without even the shade of implied criticism): I appreciate that cran2deb is undergoing some major revision and is not completely up and running, but as a user do I simply have to wait or will I also have to change the cran2deb repo in my source list in the future?
