I tried accessing http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R- intro.html, which is linked to from http://cran.r- project.org/manuals.html. I get the message that the URL could not be found by the server. Just wondering if I'm doing something stunningly un- smart (it would not be the first time).
I get a 404 on that page as well. Curiously, the R-patched and R-devel links work. Looks like the webmaster has some work to do! The pages are still available on the Revolution Analytics mirror site: http://cran.revolutionanalytics.com/ On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 10:10 AM, Paul <Paul.Domaskis at gmail.com> wrote:> I tried accessing http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R- > intro.html, which is linked to from http://cran.r- > project.org/manuals.html.

Perhaps you were unlucky and tried while it was being replaced? Duncan Murdoch

The initial reason I was trying to access the manual was to get at http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-lang.html#Indexing (as specified on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1169456/in-r-what-is-the-difference- between-the-and-notations-for-accessing-the). Looks like I can still form the right URL using your URL and changing the last piece to .../R-lang.html#Indexing.

The PDFs, dated July 6, 2015, are present: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/ They appear to be ok for patched and devel: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/ http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/ which are dated July 4 and 5, respectively. Checking a mirror, the HTML and EPUB files appear to be present for the July 3, 2015 dated file versions. So something happened over the weekend on the main CRAN server it would seem, depending upon the regen cycle timing. I tried two different browsers, with refreshes, in case there was a caching issue of sorts. Regards, Marc Schwartz

Thanks for investigating, Marc. Interesting that I can actually see the directory in which the files belong. Been a long time since I encountered a server that lets you do that.
