| For the moment you can only see it on the main archive database:
|
| $ rmadison r-base
| r-base | 2.15.1-4 | oldoldstable | source, all
| r-base | 3.1.1-1 | oldstable-kfreebsd | source, all
| r-base | 3.1.1-1+deb8u1 | oldstable | source, all
| r-base | 3.3.3-1~bpo8+1 | jessie-backports | source, all
| r-base | 3.3.3-1 | stable | source, all
| r-base | 3.4.2-1 | testing | source, all
| r-base | 3.4.2-1 | unstable | source, all

| Ok, looking forward to it.
|
| When it is ready, please follow the transition guidelines which are summarized

Rest assurred I will definitely circle back with you and Charles :-) Debian
work can still be a pleasure when you get some work done with clueful people.
And yes, the hint re 3.5 being shaky leads itself to uploading to experimental.
