R 1.6.1 has been scheduled for November 1. We're makin interim beta versions available via http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base (ftp://cran.us.r-project.org/pub/R/src/base used to work, but apparently FTP access has been disabled) The filename is R-1.6.1beta_*.tar.gz, where * is the creation date. If you want to help ensure that the final 1.6.1 works satisfactorily on *your* platform, it might be a good idea to make a test build of the beta and report any errors back (to the r-devel list, not to me personally, please!). New versions will be made available each day until the final release, barring hardware trouble and build script failures. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

The file size is ~ 21MB. I didn't realise it was R 1.6.1 beta at first. I was using rsync to get r-patched on my 1.6.0, Then after compilation/installation I realised it is in fact 1.6.1 Beta. I'm assuming one can rsync it? The command I used was: rsync -aC rsync.r-project.org::r-patched ./R-patched Cheers, Ko-Kang Wang ------------------------------------------------ Ko-Kang Kevin Wang Post Graduate PGDipSci Student Department of Statistics University of Auckland New Zealand www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~kwan022 -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

The remaining four (m68k mips mipsel sparc) should follow shortly. My i386 release was built on 'testing' (aka 'sarge') and should be installable on any testing or unstable machine. The other architectures may require the unstable release.> If you want to help ensure that the final 1.6.1 works satisfactorily > on *your* platform, it might be a good idea to make a test build of > the beta and report any errors back (to the r-devel list, not to me > personally, please!).No issues to report.> New versions will be made available each day until the final release, > barring hardware trouble and build script failures.As with the 1.[456].* prereleases, I will probably stick to weekly snapshots.

Just for interests, I have succesfully compiled R-1.6.1beta_2002-10-25 using ActiveTcl 8.4.1.0 (released on 20 Oct) and Inno Setup 3.0.4 Beta (also released on 20 Oct). As mentioned before, with Inno Setup 3.x, they got rid of the "AlwaysCreateUninstallIcon". So I had to remove it from JRins before compilation. But the main interest, I guess, is it can be compiled with ActiveTcl 8.4.1.0 Cheers, Kevin ------------------------------------------------ Ko-Kang Kevin Wang Post Graduate PGDipSci Student Department of Statistics University of Auckland New Zealand www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~kwan022 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Dalgaard BSA" <p.dalgaard@biostat.ku.dk> To: <r-devel@r-project.org> Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 1:34 AM Subject: R-1.6.1beta available> R 1.6.1 has been scheduled for November 1. > > We're makin interim beta versions available via > > http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base > > (ftp://cran.us.r-project.org/pub/R/src/base used to work, but > apparently FTP access has been disabled) > > The filename is R-1.6.1beta_*.tar.gz, where * is the creation date. > > If you want to help ensure that the final 1.6.1 works satisfactorily > on *your* platform, it might be a good idea to make a test build of > the beta and report any errors back (to the r-devel list, not to me > personally, please!). > > New versions will be made available each day until the final release, > barring hardware trouble and build script failures. > > > -- > O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 > c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
