#r2u had its first 'three point five million packages delivered' month in February (outside that two-day Sep 2023 outlier) bringing the total to over 68 million #CRAN #Rstats packages shipped as #Ubuntu .deb binaries.

#r2u. Fast. Easy. Reliable. Pick All Three.

Thank you @eddelbuettel for #r2u

I enjoyed it on Ubuntu for about a year on two devices and introduced it to my MA students in two courses ... but then I had issues with instability of the LTS Ubuntu and switched to Debian where the reality hit me that r2u is not available. I have read in the FAQ that it is not in the cards ... just wanted to thank you and say that would be great to have... if possible even in the future, as Debian is very stable and I guess many like me will continue using it

@Akbaritabar We can take this to the r2u issues or discussions if you want but it seems to me you are doing something wrong here. Ubuntu LTS and Debian stable are fully equivalent, stable, two year release cycle. Ubuntu LTS is where everybody uses r2u (you can use rolling, it is trickier). I can help you debug it if you give details, but it seems the ball here is in your corner. And if we ever did Debian, it would be _testing_ not stable. Follow-ups at GitHub preferred.
