CRAN turned out to have structural issues with version numbers that are not of the x.y.z variety (some script break). I'm trying to find time to build a 3.2.5 just to fix this up. Of course all standard procedures are broken as 3.3.0 is now in progress, so several things now need to be done manually, which is "tedious and error-prone" as the saying goes.
