To be complete, I found a third package that was unavailable to installation through aptitude, although it was listed in the Debian R Package Archive: extrafont [1], although the dependencies extrafontdb and Rttf2pt1 were available and installed without any problem. See my system info in the previous message.

Sincerely,
Mathieu.

Dear Don,

Good to hear that the Debian R Package Archive is up to date! I wasn't
using it because last time I checked, there was still many packages missing
(at least packages useful to me). But that was a long time ago. Following
this discussion, I just upgraded, and almost every package I need from CRAN
is now present and up to date! The installation takes less time than it
needs to say it, it all worked like a charm!

Now, if this is an appropriate place for such request, I'd like to add the
rgeos package [1] to the two already mentioned by Tim. I also have problems
to install rgdal and sqlitemap, which are listed in the Debian R Package
Archive [2,3], but were unavailable to me through aptitude -- maybe an
architecture issue? Both rgeos and rgdal have somewhat complicated
dependencies... Here is my system info:

$ cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 \n \l

$ head /proc/version
Linux version 3.2.0-4-amd64 ([email protected]) (gcc version
4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2

Please let me know if any more information is needed, and thanks for this
great work!

Sincerely,
Mathieu.

Hi Don,

I'm trying to keep it up to date, but there are definitely some
packages missing. If there are particular ones that you need which
aren't built, let me know, and I can go through and get them built.

Thanks for the offer.  The ones I am after just now are:

pcaMethods
bitseq

I think these will fail to build due to missing dependencies or similar.
That's fine, I can fix the builds and package up dependencies.  I'm just
after the auto-generated control/rules/copyright/etc. so I don't have to
write these from scratch.

And if you want me to contribute back then just let me know how you
prefer me to do that.

Cheers,

TIM

I know how much labor it is to keep this up, especially with the growth at
CRAN...

Can you add a regexpy call that just prints a date to the homepage, or
updates a 'LAST_RUN_AT.txt' file or something?

Sure. It actually has most of the Debian stack
(dak,sbuild,wanna-build) running behind it, but I'll have it put the
date of newest uploads of source packages on the home page... and
maybe a list of what those packages are.
