R help - Dec 2009 - regression tests still fail for R version 2.10.0

Hello,

on Mon Nov 9 17:57:04 CET 2009 I've sent
an e-mail to the R mailing list (see below),
about a failing regression test. Yet nobody
replied, while (obviously) the situation didn't
change (installation still fails, and might
continue to do so in the future).

I wonder whether somebody has to say something here?
Shall a bug report be submitted?
Or will R 2.10.1 have fixed the bug?

Oliver

Hello,

I have installed R version 2.9.2, and everything
works fine, but when attempting to install version 2.10.0
I get:

running code in 'datasets.R' ... OK
comparing 'datasets.Rout' to './datasets.Rout.save' ... OK

Before that the build seems alright.

The question lacks so many specifics that would be needed to address  
problem that I suspect persons with sufficient knowledge to address it  
(and I am probably not among that group) simply passed it over and  
waited for you to get sufficiently motivated to actually  read the  
Posting Guide. Among the missing items are OS specifics, why you need  
to install from sources, which version of the source bundle, (perhaps)  
which mirror, etc, etc.

(I surely would not report a bug with so much missing information.)
