yes, thats the problem, however it is a problem with rsync. I
update the tree via
rsync -rC rsync.r-project.org::r-devel R
an this does not remove those files:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/software/R/src/library/base/R$ ls -la cov.R
-rw-r--r-- 1 hothorn users 375 Sep 12 04:00 cov.R
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/software/R/src/library/base/R$ ls -la var.R
-rw-r--r-- 1 hothorn users 361 Sep 12 04:00 var.R
A possible fix is using
rsync -rC --delete rsync.r-project.org::r-devel R
(maybe one should add a hint in section 2.4 of the FAQ).
Thank you for pointing this out!
Best,
Torsten
