[Live-demo] Re: [OSGeo] #453: R script compiles from source, debs available

[Alex Mandel]

I already tweaked to code last night for most of these packages. I
didn't manage to find the repo key, I'll go grab those now.

The source method works fine I was just looking to save a little time on
the build at some point.

Is backports necessary, that's broken machines for me in the past.
