R devel - Oct 2005 - How do I install rbugs ? (PR#8183)

Dear rbugs,

6 month a ago the homepage of R showed how I could install and do a test-Run of
rbugs. This information is not available anymore. I would appreciate if you
could help me installing rbugs and making wun properly.

All the best,

This is not a bug in any sense. Please use the R-help list for 
questions! Please do read about what a bug is and notice that manual 
work is required to delete your bug report from the database again.

Additionally, I do not understand your message at all, because the 
package "rbugs" *is* available from CRAN, the current source tarball
is:
rbugs_0.3-1.tar.gz

Please NEVER use the R-bugs reporting system unless you are absolutely 
sure that you are reporting a major failure in the software - do read the 
guidance notes! Especially on release day, reporting non-bugs does raise 
pressure unnecessarily.

Google on "rbugs" gives:

http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/rbugs.html

Please also read http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html carefully.

This looks like a semantic error. The address R-bugs is not a mailing
list for the discussion of R and BUGS (Bayesian Inference using Gibbs
Sampling), but for reporting "bugs" (i.e. programming errors) in R. A
moment of research would have revealed this. 

Ulf is probably thinking of the article published in R news by Sun Yan,
co-author of the rbugs package. It is still available:

http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/
