[Bug 497158] Re: MIR for r-base
I am one of the two people (Michael) that maintain the Ubuntu side of the tings on CRAN. I would be willing to help maintain R in main, I just don't know what the procedures are. The build scripts exist and are maintained to coincide with R releases and we usually have a new version up within a week of a new version of Ubuntu being officially released. -- MIR for r-base https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 497158] Re: MIR for r-base
This was discussed with Dirk and Richard in PM (unfortunately). Summary: - Debian packages are in great shape - Vincent Goulet and Michael Rutter build third-party packages for Ubuntu in http://cran.US.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ - We do not seem to have a permanent Ubuntu maintainer right now who has a look at them in Ubuntu? If you ask me, this seems a little too big a step for this LTS, but perhaps you can reorganize above third-party repo to maintain and test packages directly in Ubuntu, so that we can promote them for 10.10? Would that be acceptable, or do you despearately need this for 10.04?

[Bug 497158] Re: MIR for r-base
Sorry Martin for letting this slip through. I will ask Dirk what his intentions are and see if he is able to make sure that it works. If he doesn't, then I will ask Riddell what he thinks. -- MIR for r-base https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 497158] Re: MIR for r-base
Do we have confirmation from Dirk that he makes sure that R works in Ubuntu releases (due to the different release cycles)? If not, does the Kubuntu team commit to looking after it? ** Changed in: r-base (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- MIR for r-base https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 497158] Re: MIR for r-base
To be honest, I'm very hesitant with this, as long as we don't have a dedicated Ubuntu maintainer. R is a huge project and needs corresponding attention. I know that Dirk does an excellent job with R maintenance in Debian, but due to our different release cycles maintenance needs to be coordinated particularly for Ubuntu as well. -- MIR for r-base https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
