As Dirk mentioned by default you should get the latest version of R. To see add (inserting your mirror):
deb http://<my.favorite.cran.mirror>/bin/linux/ubuntu precise/ to your /etc/apt/sources.list [don't forge the last 's' in sources] and then $ sudo apt-get update Then you can see what version you would install (without actually installing anything) by: $ apt-get --simulate install r-base Matt -- Matthew Brigida www.complete-markets.com ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Martin Gilchrist [[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2013 11:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [R-sig-Debian] Ubuntu 12.04 and R 2.15 Hi again. Thanks for the reply. What controls the version of R that I get? I took a look at the link and it looks like the only thing I have control over is the version of Ubuntu placed in the /etc/apt/source.list file. So does putting quantal in the source.list file force apt-get install r-base r-dev-base to update R to the version of R related to quantal? Martin.
