Hi Scott, I like apt-get and dpkg.
They made administering my Debian box much more convenient. However, I was surprised some time ago to see that Debian's package management technology was failing to keep up with new releases of R packages. It seemed to me that R's packages were evolving faster than Debian's archives were updated. I had to used R's built in package management tool. If I recall correctly, it's named something like update_package() or update_packages() and it downloads new R code from CRAN. If you haven't already considered R's built in package management, you may want to try it. I hope that helps, Kingsley _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Debian mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
