I will come back to this later (I am offline until the end of the
week), but thanks to your impressive work I have setup a cron job for
a repository of my own (on a server I am renting).

You can find its (only partial) results here:
http://r.proxience.com/cran/
http://r.proxience.com/omegahat/
http://r.proxience.com/bioc-1.9/

(This a very early disclosure of a work in progress.)

I have not yet tried to upload to the common repository. I want first
to check everything is in order in my own local settings and that I
have the right to upload.

As a side note, I have sent the following annoncement to
debian-science with little feedback so far:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2007/04/msg00041.html

We plan to setup a special track for 'debian-science' related matters,
but Andreas Tille is the only speaker confirmed so far. If any of you
would be interested in talking about R automatic packaging...

Some of the talks are already published:

Thanks for your work,
