[R-sig-Debian] Query about building R-2.3.1 for Ubuntu

[arin basu]

Hi All:

Is a distribution of R version 2.3.1 (the current version) available for the Ubuntu Linux? If I want to build a .deb package for R-2.3.1 for Ubuntu, are there specific requirements that I should be aware of? Is a tutorial available? I searched the web, and the repositories, but oculd not locate an appropriate file.

TIA,
Arin Basu
