Hi, SuSE 7.2 RPMs of R-1.3.0 and the current contrib packages are available at CRAN (and soon on it's mirrors) at ftp://cran.r-project.org/pub/R/bin/linux/suse RPMs for older SuSE versions will be available at ftp://ftp-stat.uni-klu.ac.at/pub/R/bin/old/linux/suse soon (not mirrored to CRAN sites). These packages are NOT compatible with my old SuSE RPMs, (R_HOME is now (again) /usr/local/lib/R and no more /usr/lib/R, packages are linked with the libR.so library, contrib packages may require R 1.3.0, ...) The contrib RPMs and it's SPEC files are automatically generated using the ftp://cran.r-project.org/pub/R/bin/linux/suse/build-contrib-rpms.pl script (also available at ftp://ftp-stat.uni-klu.ac.at/pub/R/contrib/). All (base and contrib) RPMs had to pass "make check" or "R CMD check" to be built successfully. Logfiles of the build runs are available in the 7.2/RPMS/i386/build.log subdirectory. If you want to know why the RPM of some special package is not available, you may find the reason somewhere in these logfiles (e.g. R CMD check did not succeed, some prerequisites are not fulfilled on my build host, ...) Instead of providing the SRPM files I put now only the according rpm spec files into the SPECS subdirectory. This should save much space on CRAN and its mirrors. Using these spec files and downloading the original sources from according CRAN paths you can rebuild the RPMs the same way as it would be possible with the SRPM files.
