• The latest stable version of R and many R packages from CRAN and the Bioconductor project are usually available in the official Debian sid repositories.

  • Debian Unstable (also known as sid) is one of the 3 distributions that Debian provides (along with Stable and Testing).
  • So here are the few easy steps you will need to downgrade a Debian SID release to Wheezy: Important Article Update Note: First of all...
  • On the other machine I have installed Debian Sid Unstable and dist-upgraded to the latest packages. On the Ubuntu machine uname -a reads

  • Unstable, always codenamed sid - This is the distribution where the active development of Debian is taking place.
  • However, I did not have debian sid repos enabled (stretch-updates were enabled). ... Installed system correctly uses debian sid (and antiX sid) repo.
