The CRAN Taskviews (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Views/) is currently unavailable and returns 404 Object not found! This is possibly due to them now being linked from the side frame and the URL now being http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/ Unfortunately the webmaster link on the 404 page does not have any email address associated with it, hence the mail to the list.

But what gave you the idea that http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Views/ should work?

Google does know about http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Views/ but that simply redirects to the current location. Its a tangled web out there! Neil

Hence the problems with some old links and the old information on Google. I've corrected the task view link and a few others. Let us know if there are further problems or broken links. thx, Z> Neil > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, > minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >
