Installing R-2.15.2 in Debian Wheezy/Testing
The current version of R that is available in Wheezy is 2.15.1. However, version 2.15.2 is available at CRAN sites. The site I use is http://cran.case.edu/bin/linux/debian which states: 'If you want to have up to date R on wheezy I propose to directly install Dirks packages from unstable (sid) by creating a file /etc/apt/preferences containing Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 650 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 600 and adding a line for unstable in /etc/apt/sources.list.' I assume that the preference file should be in /etc/apt and not in /etc/apt/preferences.d My question is what should be the format of the line in the sources.lists?

This: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main Or: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main Since Sid and Unstable always mean exactly the same thing, one is an alias for the other, you can either of sid or unstable in that field and it means exactly the same thing. Possibly instead of main have main contrib non-free if you need something from nonfree. The non-free parts are officially not part of Debian because they do not meet the Debian Free Software Guidelines. But users sometimes need them just the same.
