[R-sig-Geo] sp for R V2.1.0

[David Forrest]

Hi All,

Does the install.packages('sp') on my R V2.1.0 (Debian Stable) report:

    no package 'sp' at the repositories in: download.packages(pkgs, destdir
    = tmpd, available = available

... because sp from CRAN depends on "R (>= 2.4.0), methods" ?

The machine is a production server, and I'd like to not mix the 
Debian releases on it if I can avoid it.  Its using some rusty old 
scripts with library(maps) on it.

Would you advise a separate R 2.4.0 + install for using sp on these 
machines?

Dave
