[Idea]: pre 2.6.1 in updates-testing?

[José Abílio Matos]

There are release candidates for R 2.6.1 that is expected to be release next 
Monday (26).

Those daily release candidates are placed here 
http://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/

I think that we could push those release candidates to updates-testing to 
detect earlier problems. In any case we have to deal in the first push of the 
new version with the dependency of rpy.

Regards,

I think, given the holidays, we're not going to see any additional
testing. I'll just bump to 2.6.1 when it releases, and handle rpy at the
same time.

That is fair. Enjoy the holidays. :-)

I will take the change to update the rpy version, to 1.0.0, released 
yesterday (for F8+) but this is orthogonal to the new R version.
