May I request that Dirk's package for jags be added to the CRAN

Installing the rjags package for R requires specific versions of jags
to be present on the system. The current version of rjags requires
jags version 2.2.0 or later but the version on the Ubuntu archives at
Canonical (i.e. not the CRAN archives) is 2.1.0-2
I can always install Dirk's package on packages.debian.org but it
would be handy to have a version for Ubuntu.
Doug,
(As is Dirk's habit, he answers an email about the same time I am
writing mine :). Here it is anyway)
You can find the latest version of jags (as well as coda, rjags,
r2jags, and r2winbugs) at my Launchpad PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter
To add the PPA, use:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter
This PPA is now used to seed CRAN, so any package found on CRAN for
Ubuntu first appears on this PPA, then is mirrored to CRAN 12 to 24
hours later.
My goal this summer is to make more R-related Ubuntu packages
available via PPA. The original plan was to keep CRAN as a location
for the base and recommended packages with the PPA as the location for
other packages. This will allow for what I think are three levels of
R 'usage' in Ubuntu.
1. The stable approach of using the packages released by Canonical
whenever a new version of Ubuntu is released.
2. By adding CRAN, stable updates to R and the recommended packages
will be available via apt/synaptic.
3. By adding a PPA or two, you will receive alphas and betas of R as
well as updates to some non-recommended packages (with more to come in
the future) via apt/synaptic.
Maybe we need to expand what is available on CRAN? One thought I had
was to get the packages listed in the "CRAN Task Views" all available
at least via PPA. Would those make sense on CRAN as well?
not sure I understood every thing correctly, but to me it would be
wonderful to have the full cran tasks packages available from the CRAN,
but I would be reluctant to use the PPA with unstable/dev R versions. Or
maybe then should clearly separate a PPA for R versions and one for
packages?
Thanks in any case for this nice work!!
