Correct. > The current devel tarballs are labelled with a version of 2.1.0.

The latter. They should be ignored until Martin Maechler is able to create the correct ones. > Is there indeed any tarball/diff file for the 2.0.0 patched version?

The only way to get R-patched from the R-2-0-patches branch is by svn co https://svn.r-project/R/branches/R-2-0-patches. But be prepared to be patient, as it had not completed for me in 2 hours this morning. Also, as the date-stamp is not being updated, it will report the wrong date. I suggest ignoring R-patched for now. All the patches are in R-devel, and only a very small number of other things. -- Brian D.
