Debian CRAN/BIOC package archive

The {alioth:pkg-bioc} is working on Debian packages repository for the GNU R ( http://www.r-project.org/ ) libraries at CRAN ( http://cran.r-project.org/ ) and ?BioConductor ( http://www.bioconductor.org/ ).

These pages (will) contain information on how the packages are build, where apt repository mirrors are located, etc. These subprojects are available at this moment:

Remaining issues

Mirrors

There is no permanent apt-get repository available at this moment. And, thus, no mirrors either :) For i386 an initial automated repository is available for CRAN and BioC at

deb http://public.pzr.uni-rostock.de/~moeller/mirror ./

The repository for ?BioConductor is only thought as a first start. The most essential meta data packates are still missing and some other packages do not compile although they could if some more intelligence was added to cran2deb.pl, i.e. the specification of environment variable.
