The latter is more direct, but the former in principle independent of the location of the repository. However: This is not a bug in R, and no reason to add to the already considerable burden of manually moving stuff from "incoming" to "trashcan" (twice)!

True, it is not a bug, it is a meta-bug. You don't see many of those about. I'll shut up about this now.> -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Dalgaard [mailto:p.dalgaard@biostat.ku.dk] > Sent: 18 November 2003 16:50 > To: Simon Fear > Cc: r-devel@stat.math.ethz.ch; R-bugs@biostat.ku.dk > Subject: Re: [Rd] address for bug reports?

Actually, there's quite a big difference nowadays between the two: r-bugs@r-project.org is aliased to r-bugs@stat.math.ethz.ch which 1) applies our anti-virus/spam filtering 2) forwards to r-bugs@*.dk For that reason, I have advocated to advertize the @r-project.org address *only*. OTOH, that reason may become much less relevant when *.dk will have its own anti-spam filters "real soon now" :-) Martin
