Is there any reason that the R-devel tarball at [1] stucks on r69202? It seems, that newer R-devel versions are now published on /pub/misc/cran/src/base-prerelease, for example at http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/misc/cran/, but without an R-devel.tar.gz tarball ... Is this intended? Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks and greetings, Rainer Hurling [1] https://stat.ethz.ch/R/daily/R-devel.tar.gz

Any clarification would be appreciated.Probably not (it is on Martin Maechler's turf, though). These things are run by cron jobs, and sometimes they get stalled. It is also possible that a change to the build tools on that machine caused the tarballs to fail their builds (the way things work, you need to build R before you can build the tarball.) Is there a need for an R-devel.tar.gz in src/base-prerelease? It would just be a copy of the most recent one. -pd> > Thanks and greetings, > Rainer Hurling > > > [1] https://stat.ethz.ch/R/daily/R-devel.tar.gz > > ______________________________________________ > R-devel at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel-- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd.mes at cbs.dk Priv: PDalgd at gmail.com

It is also possible that a change to the build tools on that machine caused the tarballs to fail their builds (the way things work, you need to build R before you can build the tarball.)Yes, I am aware of the build process before the tarball. The mail should only take some attention on it ;) Since end of August, there had been a change of the location, where devel and patched sources are located: from https://stat.ethz.ch/R/daily/ to ::mirror::/pub/misc/cran/src/base-prerelease/ Perhaps something with the cron jobs did not follow these changes?> Is there a need for an R-devel.tar.gz in src/base-prerelease? It would just be a copy of the most recent one.I prefer the R-devel.tar.gz without date and version number for automated fetching and building R-devel on FreeBSD on an almost daily basis.
