The major changes for R 2.0.0 are now in place, and we have provided a set of notes for package maintainers at http://developer.r-project.org/200update.txt on both changes needed and new opportunities. The main thing which needs to be done is to revise the DESCRIPTION file, in particular to ensure the Depends: field is accurate. We do run daily checks over all the CRAN packages. See http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/checkSummary.html (Unfortunately although the checks have been run last week, the summary has not been updated since Aug 29.) -- Brian D.

I just checked, and the summary ends at `logistf'... (The top of that page now says "Last updated on 2004-09-06 20:26:18".)
