[R-sig-Debian] Ubuntu updates: R 2.13.1/revolution-mkl and rjags

[Michael Rutter]

Ubuntu users,

There is now an updated version of R 2.13.1 available on CRAN.  It has 
been compiled with no OpenMP support, which means the "revolution-mkl" 
package will continue to work with the latest version of R available on 
CRAN.  When OpenMP is used more within R itself, we will re-enable 
OpenMP.  The good news is that the OpenBLAS library 
(https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS), an optimized BLAS library based on 
GotoBLAS2, has been included in Ubuntu 11.10.  I am working on getting 
this package backported to older Ubuntu releases.  If there are any 
issues with this new version of R, please contact me.

The rjags package has been updated to 3.0, matching the newest version 
of JAGS.  Both of those packages are available at my PPA site 
(https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter).  So if you have been 
forcing JAGS to remain at 2.2 in order to work with rjags, you can now 
allow both to be updated.

Michael
