similar to: Fourth R Mailing List : "R-packages"

I'm forwarding this to R-help since it might be of wider interest.

This is (hopefully) a "once in ten years" event, happening today, from 17--19 CET (= 16--18 UTC = 11--13 US Eastern == 8--10 US Pacific Time) The main `vault' (security, air condition,..) where our mail server hypatia is located will undergo a major `network re-connection' event that will affect a considerable part of ETH -- including all the mailing lists

{BCC'ed to three Core groups} Following the recommendation of the mailman developers, I have activated occasional "VERP"ing for our mailing lists. (and will turn it off again, after about a day or so). Here is the mailman "comment-docu" on this : # These variables control the format and frequency of VERP-like delivery for # better bounce detection. VERP is Variable

Because of a lapsus on my side and then a problematic server re-boot at just the wrong time, the daily digest versions of the R mailing lists (see the lower part of http://www.r-project.org/mail.html) haven't been delivered in time, unfortunately. I'm sending this message just *before* starting the digest manually for today. I hope this won't happen anymore. Apropos, I'd like to

I have moved the R-announce mailing list from the Majordomo software to a combination of procmail & mailman an hour or so ago. You find a link in the footer of this message giving an URL where you can modify your subscription, look at the archives (everything from the beginning in 1997) and more. CHANGE: Postings to R-announce are now moderated, ie. they have to be approved by a list

We have locally collected good experience the last few weeks using procmail-spam filtering, inclduing spamassassin to the procmail filters. The last two spams that went past the majordomo filters (the "traditional ones I've been using) through to R-devel both were not delivered to me, be but caught by the filters. I have now collected a bit more of a week experience using the new scheme

During the last 24 hours or so, quite a few e-mails have been delayed for the R-help (and in one case the R-announce) mailing lists. The double posting of "New version of ipred package" to R-announce is my fault, not the posters. I apologize for all inconveniences. The reason is a mail server upgrade and reconfiguration. This should all be past now and the delayed mail hopefully soon

As many of you have probably realized, the spam filtering at @stat.math.ethz.ch has been dead for since yesterday (09-25) ~16:50 till today ~08:30. The sudden death may have been caused by unrelated installation of some perl modules (spamassassin *is* running on perl) by our IT staff. We are very sorry for this event. On the bright side: You have been able to get a glimpse of what you are

I appreciate Brian and Martin's answers -- and I certainly don't spend as much time & energy maintaining and answering questions about R as they do -- *but* it does seem to me that it would make a number of new (switching) user's lives easier if there were a succinct list of these differences, with a disclaimer ... I would be willing to maintain such a list, but since I

I've already fixed the bugs, but as with the last one, this is not critical enough to allow breaking current R-devel's code freeze. I hope I will have corrected it for 1.5.1.. ## Here is code reproducing the problems; ## I use try(.) whenever I know the current versions of R would ## give an error: library(splines) x <- c(1:3,5:6) y <- c(3:1,5:6) (isP <- interpSpline(x,y))#
