[Pkg-r-builders] Restart?

[Michael Rutter]

Dirk,

I have added the cran2deb code to the box.  I even was able to build 
source packages for zoo, so it sort of works.  Installed R and all the 
supporting packages needed to make it work.  Where do you want to put 
the source code to work on it?  Right now, it is sitting in my home 
directory.

My son is playing JV soccer this year.  Only disappointing thing is that 
fall soccer gets colder and wetter.
