Hi,
This is almost certainly a naive question, but what happened to R-
devel (2.8.0) for Leopard at http://r.research.att.com/ ? The
nightly build appears to be failing.
Yes, a HDD failed in the ppc64 (G5) build machine. Hence the builds
are incomplete and thus don't pass checks. Rosetta doesn't work for 64-
bit, so we cannot use the main (Xeon) machine for ppc64 builds. In
fact I have just disabled the ppc64 checks earlier today, so at least
tri-arch binaries should be available tomorrow. I think we will soon
drop [binary] ppc64 support altogether given that it's such a pain to
maintain and has pretty much no benefits.
Is there another location to download the developer release for
OS10.5? (It was working fine at http://r.research.att.com/ a few
weeks ago).
No in the sense that http://R.research.att.com is the canonical source
of the "official" Mac builds. If the builds are not there, then
something is wrong and it's being worked on ;).
Cheers,
Simon
