For the record, I edited the DESCRIPTION file to use 2.7, and things mostly appear to be working. The one exception is that some of the latex documentation won't build, apparently because of changes in R's documentation system.
This not a guarantee from me, much less the package maintainer; it's just a report after some modest use. > > Good time for you to upgrade to teh R-2.10.0 release candidate and act > as a test user before Monday when R-2.10.0 will probably be released. I'm on Debian Lenny, aka stable, so pulling in more recent Debian packages is likely to cause fairly extensive, potentially destabilizing, changes to my system. I realize I could do a custom build (either from the Debian package or the original source), but I'm trying to avoid potentially time-consuming side-projects.
