The countdown to R version 1.8.0 has begun. As a novelty, we now make preliminary source tarballs available somewhat earlier in the process. They will be found in http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base with names of the form R-1.8.0alpha_2003-09-10.tar.gz The first one was created a moment ago; subsequent ones will be created by a cron job that runs at 05:00 local (Wisconsin) time. There are still a couple of problems with these versions, but we expect that there should be no major changes between now and release time. If you have "esoteric" platforms, it is particularly important that you give us feedback about build issues as soon as you can. Much better to fix problems before the release than to have to patch things up immediately after release. Daily snapshots are available as usual, but even if you check these, it would be helpful if you could try building from the tarballs since some potential packaging errors can only be caught that way. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

It will eventually show up (probably tomorrow) on CRAN and the mirrors in /bin/windows/base/. I'm planning to upload new snapshots as often as practicable until the release of 1.8.0, but due to travel constraints, this is not likely to occur daily. Duncan Murdoch
Our Sun Ultra-80 running Solaris 2.8 (platform = sparc-sun-solaris2.8) failed
to "make" R-1.8.0alpha_2003-09-15.tar.gz. The tail end of the output
follows.
Note that we have gcc version 2.95.3, as a recent attempt to upgrade failed
miserably. Any ideas?
