R and R-recommended 1.4.1 Debian packages available

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Debian packages of R-1.4.1 and R-1.4.1-recommended [1] have been uploaded for
i386 and are currently available at http://incoming.debian.org.  These will
run on any current "testing" (aka "woody") or "unstable" (aka "sid")
distribution. 

The next archive installation (around 14:00h Central time tomorrow) will move
these files into the package pool from where they will propagate to the usual
mirror sites.

The build daemons for the non-i386 architectures will then complement the
i386 release. We currently have 1.4.0 packages for alpha, arm, hppa, i386,
ia64, m68k, powerpc, s390 and sparc. We will look into the currently missing
architectures (mips, mipsel) but these might have compiler problems which
prevent the build process from completing.

If someone can and wants to build 1.4.1 on Debian "stable" (aka "potato") for
the i386 platform, please let me know by email. We would need to alter the
debian/* files slightly but this could easily be arranged for. 

Regards, Dirk
