Oh, and then there are of course Michael's other repos. Eg in the Travis
setup file for the RProtoBuf repo (and package) we use
[...]
install:
- ./travis-tool.sh install_aptget libprotobuf-dev libprotoc-dev \
protobuf-compiler r-cran-rcpp r-cran-runit \
r-cran-rcurl r-cran-highlight
[...]
which gets these packages as (backported) binary deb packages -- for the
older Ubuntu 12.04 release that Travis still deploys.
This relies on
edd@max:~/git/r-travis(master)$ grep ppa scripts/travis-tool.sh
sudo add-apt-repository -y "ppa:marutter/rrutter"
sudo add-apt-repository -y "ppa:marutter/c2d4u"
sudo add-apt-repository -y "ppa:texlive-backports/ppa"
edd@max:~/git/r-travis(master)$
Hope this helps.
Dirk
