No question about that - but, I guess (as I don't know the script you mention below), the basic idea is the same. > > For local builds of eg R-devel (straight off SVN) I have a script which was > posted here not so > long ago, and Michael also posted it on his new-ish blog.

There is always the issue, that if you offer a binary, more people will use it and more can report bugs. But on the other hand, more users not that experienced will use it and this can cause problems. I would say: R-patched is only for advanced users, so a script to compile it is perfectly fine.
