Well, right now I'm learning much more about UNIX/GNU development I've been try to get through many of ubuntu's wiki training yet I'm not sure where i need to start, so I may need some help with that. Right now I'm just trying to put my foot in the door and dont know where go, I need to understand what is required of me before becoming a MOTU, and will also most likely need help with package Maintenance.
   
  Also the pc I have now is not to great and gnome fails on it consistently (runing Desktop Hardy), but luckily I will be buying a laptop shortly, so that will help.
   
  Thanks for the help. =)

Dear all,

as some of you already know, we have completed recently the gfortran 
transition. One of the libraries involved was r-base, which now doesn't 
provide anymore libRblas.so (uses the blas one instead). Unfortunately quite 
a number of packages have been built already with the older version and are 
now broken (see for instance LP bug 217742 and bug 219245). A quick search 
with apt-cache shows the following R libraries (from packages depending on 
r-base-core) still linking against libRblas.so:

/usr/lib/R/site-library/eco/libs/eco.so: libRblas.so => not found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/fArma/libs/fArma.so: libRblas.so => not found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/fAsianOptions/libs/fAsianOptions.so: libRblas.so => 
not found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/fGarch/libs/fGarch.so: libRblas.so => not found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/fNonlinear/libs/fNonlinear.so: libRblas.so => not 
found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/fOptions/libs/fOptions.so: libRblas.so => not 
found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/fRegression/libs/fRegression.so: libRblas.so => 
not found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/fUnitRoots/libs/fUnitRoots.so: libRblas.so => not 
found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/lme4/libs/lme4.so: libRblas.so => not found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/Matrix/libs/Matrix.so: libRblas.so => not found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/MNP/libs/MNP.so: libRblas.so => not found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/polspline/libs/polspline.so: libRblas.so => not 
found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/qtl/libs/qtl.so: libRblas.so => not found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/quadprog/libs/quadprog.so: libRblas.so => not 
found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/robustbase/libs/robustbase.so: libRblas.so => not 
found
/usr/lib/R/site-library/tseries/libs/tseries.so: libRblas.so => not 
found
/usr/lib/R/library/mgcv/libs/mgcv.so: libRblas.so => not found

Any volunteer to help to manually upload all the rebuild patches will be 
highly welcome.
Please coordinate your work through bug 219346 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/219346).

Thanks,

Cesare

Why don't you start telling us something about you and how you would like to 
contribute?

Hereafter I'm giving you some links about Ubuntu development and how you could 
get involved:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Mentoring

If you are just interested in bug triaging, you should read this wiki page:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/GettingInvolved

Hope this helps,

Cesare
