It's on CRAN now; perhaps the mirror you're using is a little slow

Probably quite a bit slow:
2009-06-26 13:29 R-2.9.1.dmg
so the Mac binary was actually out very early this time ... you could
install it while having your afternoon tea on the R release date :).
In the bottomless pit of my stupidity I always wanted to ask the
following, but I've always been too ashamed (or lazy) to ask. I
always download the full dmg, but I never install any of the
supplementary packages. Should I? only in case of a fresh
installation (I'm upgrading now)? I have Xcode and X11 installed
already anyway.
I would use the full installer at least once :-)
It provides a tcl/tk library that R can use, as well as a gfortran
compiler that can target the different Mac architectures (ppc/x86 32
and 64 bit). While XCode will compile source package that only rely on
C source, you'd be marooned w/o the gfortran compiler if a package has
fortran source. That said, if you're just installing the binary
package, then you probably wouldn't even notice.
I used the mini installer this time to upgrade from 2.9.0 to 2.9.1.
