As I said in email earlier today, I was wrong (and presumably lacking coffee or sleep): the sibbling package "Design" by Harrell was replaced by "rms" by Harrell. "Hmisc", which is used by both continues unaffected. And Hmisc has been packaged for Debian since this entry: hmisc (1.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial Debian Release, closes Intent to Package (Closes: #198570) -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <[email protected]> Sat, 5 Jul 2003 13:50:53 -0500 when it wasn't even a CRAN package yet. | (I'm going to try and use the mosaic package for a statistics class this | semester, and mosaic depends Hmisc.) Try 'apt-cache search ^r-cran- | sort'; there is lot there. For the rest, you can use Michael's ppa or install into /usr/local/lib/R which I do with the install.r helper script in the littler package. Dirk -- "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.
