I've rolled up R-1.6.2.tgz a short while ago. This is a minor upgrade,
fixing an assortment of bugs.
You can get it from the developer site at
http://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-1.6.2.tgz
or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site near you. Binaries for
various platforms will appear in due course.
There is also a version split for floppies, but due to the inclusion
of recommended packages as binary .tar.gz files, we are no longer
providing a patch file.
These are the md5sums for the freshly created files, in case you wish
to check that they are uncorrupted:

Here's the relevant part of the NEWS file:
CHANGES IN R VERSION 1.6.2
BUG FIXES
o plot.stepfun() now obeys a `ylim=.' specification.
o removeClass() does a better job of removing inheritance
information.
o setIs() will not allow mismatched representations between two
classes (without an explicit coerce method).
o The code underlying polygon drawing contained a memory leak.
This showed up in persp, but did not affect other graphics
functions. It is now possible to draw big DEMs.
o logLik.nls() gave wrong df. (PR#2295)
o rbind() with a mixture of data frames and matrices treated the
matrices as vectors. (PR#2266)
o stripchart(method="stack") was not handling missing values.
(PR#2018)
o Arithmetic functions such as log() lost the object bit from
classed objects if coercion was needed. (PR#2315)
o exp_rand would go into an infinite loop if unif_rand returned 0.
o formatC(x, format="fg") could return exponential format if
rounding pushed x over a positive power of 10. (PR#2299)
o attr(x, foo) used partial matching for `foo' (even though not
documented to do so), and failed to find `foo' if there were
two or more partial matches before the exact match in the list
of attributes.
o Rdconv now creates direct HTML hyperlinks when linking to
documentation in the same package. The code now ensures that
links which can be resolved within the package are so resolved,
even when there are possible resolutions in other packages.
o If readBin(what=character()) is used incorrectly on a file which
does not contain C-style character strings, warnings (usually
many) are now given.
o Building libR.so with the zlib in the R sources was not
finding the local zlib headers.
o system(intern=TRUE) has an undocumented line length limit of
119 chars both on Unix and Windows. The limit is now 8096 and
documented. On Unix (only) every 120th character used to be
discarded.
o plot.POSIX[cl]t were not passing graphics parameters on to
axis.POSIXct.
o On some HP-UX systems, installed scripts were not executable
when using the BSD-compatible install system program found by
configure. We now always use install-sh on HP-UX. (PR#2091)
o c() was converting NA names to "NA": now proper NA strings are
used wherever possible. (PR#2358)
o A typo was causing segfaults when using data.entry under SuSE.

(PR#2358) o A typo was causing segfaults when using data.entry under SuSE. o mostattributes<-() was failing to copy across dimnames when one component was NULL, affecting pmax() and pmin() when the first argument was a matrix. (root cause of PR#2357) o The pdf() device now initialises graphical parameters properly. (PR#2281) o Checks in the C code prevent possible memory faults when standardGeneric is called invalidly. o Macros NEW_OBJECT (aka NEW) and MAKE_CLASS added; required by the .Call interface to generate arbitrary objects. o Problem that prevented package tcltk from working with Tcl/Tk 8.4 (crash on initialization) resolved. (Notice that binaries may still require an older Tcl/Tk, for example on Windows). o type.convert() was not getting the levels right if passed a character vector containing <NA>s, and `na.strings' did not contain "NA". This affected read.table(). o Internal match function did not check for nor handle 0-length vectors. (The R function match() did.) This could cause type.convert() to segfault. o The line length limit in output text connections has been raised to 8095 chars. o Sweave now uses anonymous file rather than text connections to avoid the limits of the latter (see previous item). o parsing did not work on connections when pushback was used (as it had never been implemented). (PR#2396) o max.col() only found NAs in the first column (typo). o Added a workaround for recent versions of glibc (e.g. RedHat 8.0) with inconsistent mktime/localtime functions which caused conversion to/from POSIXct times prior to 1970-01-01 to be inconsistent. On such platforms this is a run-time test to allow e.g. R compiled on RH7.2 to run on RH8.0. o Clipping was not being reset properly between plots on the gtk() device (the default under the GNOME interface). (PR#2366) o axis(*, fg= cc) now works (again) the same as axis(*, col = cc). -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

The URL's http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base/R-1.6.2.tgz and http://cvs.r-project.org/src/base/R-1.6.2.tgz should both work.
Debian packages for the Intel i386 platform have been uploaded to Debian's
master archive server. These packages have been built on Debian's
'testing'
release and will install and run on any 'testing' or 'unstable'
system.
Debian 'unstable' packages for most of the other eleven hardware
platforms
should be built during the night.
Intel i386 packages for the more recent Debian 3.0 ('stable') release
will
be built over the weekend.
Regards, Dirk
