Yes, tomorrow's tarball unless you want to get it from the SVN archive.
The change is in src/library/tools/R/admin.R and looks like
Built <-
paste("R ",
paste(R.version[c("major", "minor")],
collapse = "."),
"; ",
if(file_test("-d", file.path(dir, "src"))) OStype
else "",
"; ",
## Prefer date in ISO 8601 format.
## Could also use
## format(Sys.time(), "%a %b %d %X %Y")
Sys.time(),
"; ",
.OStype(),
sep = "")
## we must not split the Built: field across lines
writeLines(c(formatDL(names(db), db, style = "list"),
paste("Built", Built, sep=": ")),
file.path(outDir, "DESCRIPTION"))
db["Built"] <- Built
Obviously I have not tested on an Alphabc...tuvwxyz system but it should
work there.
