rsync.r-project.org now offers three flavors of the R sources. $ rsync rsync.r-project.org:: r-release R sources (feature-frozen version) CVS tree (approx 10 MB) r-release-patched patched R sources (feature-frozen version) CVS tree (approx 10 MB) r-devel R sources (development version) CVS tree (approx 10 MB) xlispstat xlispstat sources (development version) CVS tree (approx 12 MB) ess ess (Emacs Speaks Statistics) CVS tree (approx 8.5 MB) omega Omega Project for Statistical Computing CVS tree These three versions correspond to the tar.gz files available in CRAN as r-release -> CRAN/src/base/R-0.90.0.tgz r-release-patched -> CRAN/src/devel/R-release.tar.gz r-devel -> CRAN/src/devel/R-devel.tar.gz The rsync trees are created directly from the master CVS archive and are updated hourly. I believe that the problems with g+s permissions on some of the files from rsync.r-project.org have been fixed. Please send me e-mail if you encounter such problems again. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-announce 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 !)
