Announcement for Windows users of R < 1.7.0 and maintainers of contributed packages
[Please do not reply to r-announce!]
Windows users of R < 1.7.0 ========================== [Users of R-1.7.x are not affected.]
In order to clean up the directory structure on CRAN, the Windows binary version of contributed packages for R < 1.7.0 will be moved from Your-CRAN-Mirror/bin/windows/contrib to a subdirectory ./1.6 shortly. Therefore, install.packages() and friends of R < 1.7.0 won't work without specifying argument "contriburl" explicitly. Of course, manual download and installation is possible as well. Note that these packages are no longer being updated (last update was: 11-Apr-2003). ReadMe files will be available in the corresponding directories.
It is highly recommended to upgrade to a recent version of R!
Maintainers of contributed packages =================================== Starting with the first alpha releases of R-1.8.0 (in development), I am going to make Windows binary versions of contributed packages available (around September 13) at Your-CRAN-Mirror/bin/windows/contrib/1.8 (currently still linked to the ./1.7 directory). Packages that do not compile out of the box or do not pass "Rcmd check" with "OK" or "WARNING" will *not* be published. This "Status", i.e. result of "Rcmd check" ("OK", "WARNING", "ERROR"), will be listed in a file "./1.8/Status". Corresponding check.log will be available in subdirectory ./1.8/check. For details, please read the ReadMe (to appear).
Best regards, Uwe Ligges
