Hi All, this is a CRAN question, so I am sorry if this is not the appropriate forum. I noticed that there is at least one CRAN package that has a binary (OSX Mavericks) for a version, that does not have any source package on CRAN. Or at least I am unable to locate it. The package is Rglpk: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rglpk/index.html It offers a binary for 0.5-2, but there is no 0.5-2 source package anywhere. Is this simply a mistake, or it is OK to have binary-only packages on CRAN? Thanks much, Best, Gabor [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I would guess that CRAN requires only the _current_ source, not _every_ source. And http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Rglpk/ only has the source archived for 0.4-1>> >> Thanks much, Best, >> Gabor-- If you sent twitter messages while exploring, are you on a textpedition?
