Hello ALL!
I just put fresh Debian testing on my new laptop. A while ago I have
used it, but in meantime I used Ubuntu. Now, I wonder should I go for:
http://debian.cran.r-project.org/cran2deb/debian-amd64/
or simply:
deb http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian lenny-cran/
and then simply using something like:
apt-get -t unstable install r-base r-base-dev

Question is which should be prefered? And, is there an option for:
apt-get -t testing install r-base r-base-dev

cran2deb offers exactly testing, as far as I undersood.

Thanks in advance,
PM
