I haven't build 2.2.0 yet, but I will probably do it next weekend. R 2.1.1
is available and you should be able to install it without too many problems
(you might have to remove a lot of r-cran packages which I all put into the
r-recommended package for the backport, I'll try to fix that for the next
version).
