hm, good question. I guess there are number of reasons for implementing this in an R package, first, then extending RKWard to make use of that package, later. The best reason is that quite conceivably the cran2deb / r-sig-debian people may be interested in helping with creating and/or maintaining this. One issue that comes to my mind is access rights. While install.packages() will install to a local library by default, for debian packages you'd need admin rights. To make this a smooth user experience, it should be possible to acquire admin rights, interactively. Here it would be important for us to have a parameter to specify a graphical, rather than console based su-command (i.e. kdesu / kdesudo instead of su / sudo). Regards Thomas
