I've been trying to build a bundle with the R-devel snapshot from
yesterday. (Yes I know it is unstable and just tell me if I shouldn't be
trying to do this yet.)
It is failing with the message
tar : /dev/rmt/0 : Permission denied
It happens after "removing junk files" and just after the message
"building dse_2000.9-1.tar.gz"
It looks to be coming from the line in the build script
system("tar ....
but I don't read perl very well.
(Using Solaris.)

Real tar (the AT&T based one such as that on Solaris 2.7) needs chXf. GNU tar is a rather different animal. This is chiefly my fault: I modified this to work on Solaris, but tested it on a machine where tar is GNU tar .... You will note that build is not finished yet: ### !!!
