I haven't seen any follow-up yet -- here is what it looks like (cut and

It seems to stem from src/main/version.c:
void attribute_hidden PrintVersionString(char *s)
{
if(strcmp(R_SVN_REVISION, unknown)==0)
{
sprintf(s, Version %s.%s %s (%s-%s-%s),
R_MAJOR, R_MINOR, R_STATUS, R_YEAR, R_MONTH, R_DAY);
}
else{
if(strlen(R_STATUS)==0){
sprintf(s, Version %s.%s (%s-%s-%s),
R_MAJOR, R_MINOR, R_YEAR, R_MONTH, R_DAY);
}
else{
sprintf(s, Version %s.%s %s (%s-%s-%s r%s),
R_MAJOR, R_MINOR, R_STATUS, R_YEAR, R_MONTH, R_DAY,
R_SVN_REVISION);
}
}
}
Would replacing 'Version ...' with 'R (Version ...)' be an acceptable
alternative ?
I think the problem is that PrintVersion (a few lines up from there)
used to put the R in front; PrintVersionString doesn't include the R.
PrintVersionString is called from other places where the R would not be
appropriate, but PrintVersion is only called when acting on `R
--version' or synonyms.
Fritz, I think this was your change in r36923 a few months ago. Do you
have time to deal with it?
Yes, will do later today.
Best,
Fritz

Re: [Rd] Bug#361968: Wrong name in manpage
I've committed a fix for 2.3 affecting only R --version (don't want to
play with real R output during feature freeze), and a cleaner solution
for 2.4 which gets the startup message and --version even more in
sync.
Passes all checks for me, and the man page looks OK again. Thanks for
spotting the bug.
Best,
Fritz
