[[!meta title="Debian R Archive"]] For those of you were were in the various Debian infrastructure channels, you might have noticed that I was playing around with wanna-build, dak, sbuild, and buildd and friends. [Thanks to everyone who answered questions, btw.] Over the past week, I've been building most of [CRAN](http://cran.r-project.org), [Bioconductor](http://bioconductor.org), and [omegahat](http://www.omegahat.org) for unstable, amd64. I plan to build the same set of packages for i386, and will start a build shortly for stable as well. This effort builds on top of Charles Blundell and Dirk Eddelbuettel's [cran2deb](http://debian.cran.r-project.org/), which does most of the heavy lifting. If you're like me, and use lots of different R packages, or already use some of the R packages available on the previous build, you can simply point your sources.list to the [http://debian-r.debian.net] archive, load the appropriate GPG key, and away you go. I have a bit more information available [[here|r/debian_r]] and I will try to keep that page updated as I build other architectures and build out for stable. [[!tag debian tech r]]
