The SVN (Subversion) Server of the R-project, svn.r-project.org, financed and run by the Math Department of ETH Zurich, now has got it's own "validated" aka "trusted" SSL certificate, mostly thanks to Simon Urbanek (R-core) and his employer, AT&T Labs. This may mean that those of you who have been using the R development sources, (or had scripts that read the logs, or ...) may need to cache the new certificate by some one-time manual interaction.
