[Rd] Milestone: 1000 packages on CRAN as of today(?)
Hi, I was just looking at the "CRAN Daily Package Check Results" [http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/checkSummary.html], and realized there are 1000 packages on CRAN as of today (look at row 3 in the table below). Yet another quite extraordinary milestone in R history. Last updated on 2007-04-12 11:48:32 Results for installing and checking packages using the three current flavors of R on systems running Debian GNU/Linux testing (r-devel ix86: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ (2GHz), r-devel x86_64: Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 280, r-prerel/r-release: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz), MacOS X 10.4.7 (iMac, Intel Core Duo 1.83GHz), and Windows Server 2003 SP2 (32-bit) (AMD Athlon64 X2 5000+). Flavor OS CPU OK WARN ERROR Total 1 r-devel Linux ix86 769 135 32 936 2 r-devel Linux x86_64 523 101 36 660 3 r-prerel Linux ix86 816 154 30 1000 4 r-prerel MacOS_X ix86 738 160 95 993 5 r-prerel Windows x86_64 787 142 36 965 6 r-release Linux ix86 919 63 15 997 7 r-release Windows x86_64 908 50 19 977 Hope those WARN and ERROR packages will turn into OK before the 2.5.0 release. I've tried to do my contribution ;) While maintaining R at my previous place, I kept track on the number of package installed, which included almost all CRAN packages, except a few hard-to-install ones, plus some Bioconductor packages. This is my summary: 20020917 68, R v1.5.1 20030326 206, R v1.6.2 20030424 269, R v1.6.2 20030903 298, R v1.7.1 20031015 306, R v1.7.1 20031126 352, R v1.7.1 20040310 370, R v1.8.1 20040525 411, R v1.9.0 20041005 459, R v1.9.1 20041217 506, R v2.0.1 20060217 698, R v2.2.1 Quite a growth. Are there any "official" records like these? Cheers Henrik

[Rd] Milestone: 1000 packages on CRAN as of today(?)
The number of packages on CRAN usable with the current version of R is recorded from time to time in the file tests/internet.Rout.save. So e.g. on 2001-05-30 there were 106 and on 2004-12-27 there were 433 (rather less than you recorded) and on 2005-12-17, 647 (rather more), assuming I got the correct versions. Note that progress is not monotone: there may be 1000 packages but some are uninstallable under R 2.5.0 and are likely to be moved to the Archive.
