S is a language and system for statistical data analysis and graphics
developed at Bell Labs. A commercial version called S-PLUS is
marketed by MathSoft, Inc. Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman at U. of
Auckland developed R, a GPL'd system they describe as "not unlike S".
It has been endorsed by Richard Stallman as "official GNU software".
Development is now the responsibility of an international team.
I intend to package the base R language as a Debian package r-base.
I will also package the contributed libraries for R as r-contrib. The
upstream sources for R-0.60.1 were released a few days ago from
http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/R/contents.html
Since I understand a bug-fix version R-0.60.2 is imminent, that will
probably be the first package that shows up for Debian.
