It is a bit kludgy (*) of course, but I confirm it solves the problem in a "robust" way. *) Of course I'd hoped you'd find why the underlying packageDescription() function is not "getting the right thing" in this case directly -- in Windows only in some locales -- and provide a Windows-only patch for the underlying problem there, rather than the workaround patch in citation(). The patch does solve the problem at hand, alright, so thank you, Rich...

...uot; and "LastChangedRevision" would clearly do (even without Makefile / configure ...) But as package development under svn (especially under r-forge) is just so frequent, it would be nice to have a recommended format that could be read out in a standardized form, say by a function like packageDescription from package 'utils':-) I would vote for optional extra tags "LastChangedDate" and "LastChangedRevision". I have attached a commented and correspondingly modified version of packageDescription() --- if you find it helpful feel free to integrate it to package 'utils...

This is a continuation of the R-devel thread with subject "suggestion to fix packageDescription() for Windows users" : As I said there, a patch should rather address the underlying problem in packageDescription rather than a kludgy workaround patch for citation(). (For that same reason, Ben Marwick proposed to fix packageDescription() rather than the symptom seen in citation().) It...
