When using an older version of R, packages are not found although they are available for newer versions of R and do work when installed with the old version. For example, installing DoE.base on R 2.8.1 installs version 0.2, while CRAN is at version 0.4-1 currently. It would be nice if the install process would per default look for the newest version of the package and install this one if its R-version request allows this. (I recently found a help list entry by Uwe Ligges that explains how to manually install from a repository for a newer CRAN version, but I did not bookmark it and cannot find it any more. The documentation does not enlighten me there.) Regards, Ulrike ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
