I just built R-devel from source on OS X (Tiger), using the subversion
sources. Running ./tools/rsync-recommended didn't download rcompgen. I
checked
http://cran.r-project/src/contrib/2.7.0/Recommended
and indeed, this package is not there. If I try to install using
install.packages I get
> install.packages("rcompgen", type="source")

>From NEWSo Command-line completion has been moved from package 'rcompgen' to package 'utils': the former no longer exists as a separate package in the R distribution. It was always intended that it be merged into utils when finished and stable (and it helps that Deepayan in a member of R-core now).
