I made some experimental packages for R 2.1.0, mostly to see if it built fine and what else needed changing. A short write-up re my unsuccessful attempts at testing the i18n stuff is at http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2005/02/27#R-2.1.0_alpha_builds R-gnome is gone, and I have to figure out how to transition it. Is an entry in the ChangeLog good enough, and otherwise r-gnome will just be empty?
