[R] Debian GNU/Linux package of R-0.62.4

[Douglas Bates]

I have created a Debian Linux package from R-0.62.4 and uploaded it to
the master Debian archive.  It will be incorporated in the 2.1 (or
"slink") release of Debian GNU/Linux.  This release is currently
frozen (i.e. bug-fixes only are allowed in uploads).  The scheduled
release date is December 15, 1998.  We'll see if we can actually make
the scheduled release date on this release :-).

The package is called r-base_0.62.4-1.  It can be installed on a
Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 system as it does not use any 2.1-specific
facilities.  It is currently available as
http://cran.stat.wisc.edu/bin/linux/debian/2.0/r-base_0.62.4-1_i386.deb
and should propagate to other CRAN sites within two days.

The source package is available at the usual Debian sites such as
      ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/slink/main/source/math/

P.S. If you wonder why the release is called "slink", the releases of
Debian GNU/Linux are named after characters in the movie "Toy Story".
The 2.2 release is named "potato" :-(.  I tried to get them to change
it to "potatoe" to inject some American political humor but they
refused.
