Dear Paul:

Thank you for your help.

Let me share you a handy thing I learned. 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

If I do that, but I obtain r-base-2.10.1 not the last r-2.12.0 files.

How can I obtain them?

I want to use them to build my own R-patched 2.12.0 version when they
arrive.

Thank you for your help.

I am using the cran.at.r-project.org mirror.

Follow the directions listed here:

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/

To get the source files, you need to add an extra line:

deb-src http://<my.favorite.cran.mirror>/bin/linux/ubuntu maverick/

After an apt-get update, you should be able to download the latest source with:

apt-get source --only-source r-base
