I would welcome this. Currently, I am doing the builds for the CRAN servers
for three different architectures to jessie and wheezy with some hand-baked
build scripts,
http://cgit.jrwb.de/r-backports/
which is quite time consuming.
Would it make sense to create a git repository on alioth for the backporting?
My aim would be to backport each stable release, so I could drop the manual
builds for CRAN, at least for jessie. I am not a DD, but I could help with the
new releases once everything is set up.
Kind regards,
Johannes
