Hi,

I need to install R packages in several nodes (10+) in AWS. I wont be able
to open R shell in each and do install.packages("foo")

This will be done using a configuration management tool like Puppet and
it'll be easier if i can do an apt-get installation of R packages
automatically.

I found a list of R debian packages here:
http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu/lucid/

But it does not contain all the packages that i need.

Is there a way to convert any R package and it's internal dependencies to a
Debian package similar to the approach used in creating r-cran-*.deb?

Thanks,

Sathish

Satish,

Check out my cran2deb4ubuntu PPA (http://tiny.cc/c2d4u). It may have all the packages you need. There are over 2000.

Michael
