To R-devel, I am currently writing a package with R 2.2.1 under Windows using cygwin and the recommended Rtools. Physically my package ist hosted on the Drive z: .
When I call Rcmd.exe build –-binary for my package I have a problem with the "build" script in $R_HOME/bin/. Starting on line 226 the code is as follows: if($WINDOWS) { ## workaround for paths in Cygwin tar $filepath =~ s+^([A-Za-x]):+/cygdrive/\1+; } Is there a particular reason that only lower case letter from a-x are handled? As my drive is z: I would like the workaround to work for lower case letters a-z.
