That is indeed true. Let me try to factor all the possible (under Ubuntu) scenarios: I'll use these short hands for brevity: <R == generally behind latest R release, <rkw == generally behind latest Rkward release, +R == latest R +rkw == latest Rkward on KDE4 +rkw3 == latest Rkward on KDE3 UR == Official Ubuntu R Urkw == Official Ubuntu Rkward 1. UR (<R) & Urkw (<rkw OR <rkw3) -- nothing doing 2. UR (<R) & "+rkw OR +rkw3" -- _we_ have to provide either via Meik's/Launchpad (M/L) repos. 3. cran (+R) & "+rkw OR +rkw3" -- cran repos OR M/L repos Since we would already be doing 2., I suggest we can pool in 3 also. Pushing this to cran packagers will again, bring in a _waiting queue_... Me and Meik can split between 2 and 3. We can use the same scripts just different virtual machines! Now the different versions of Ubuntu: 1. draper : +rkw3 -- cran provides 0.4.9a + R 2.9 2. gutsy: +rkw3 & +rkw -- cran provides 0.5.0b-2 3. hardy: +rkw3 & +rkw -- cran provides 0.5.0b-2 4. intrepid: +rkw3 & +rkw -- cran NONE 5. jaunty: +rkw -- cran NONE Which of these do we really want to provide? 4. and 5 - should. Another issue: Will rkward compiled against KDE 4.2.x work on KDE 4.1.x? Probably not!
