Good but you may still want to read
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu
as there is no reason to rebuild the package locally. These 'CRAN-ports'
appear within a few days of releases -- I happen to be the Debian maintainer
responsible for the underlying packaging used here, and I use these very
packages produced by Michael and Vincent on all my Ubuntu machines.
There are a number of little things these packages get right that you may be
missing in local builds: all Depends properly set, enabling of memory
profiling, shared library support (needed for things like rkward, Rapache,
RInside,
littler, ...), autocompletion, conffiles linked to /etc/R etc pp. You are of
course free to build locally -- but I personally would rather not bother and
am happy to let the package management system take care of it.
There is also r-sig-debian for Ubuntu/Debian questions if you have any.
