Can you please stop this? You made your point, repeatedly. Nobody has come to your side.
And you *do* have easy alternatives: i) git repo, see https://github.com/wch/r-source ii) nighly tarballs, see ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R Whatever your particular circumstances are (which you never detailed in a way that made me understand what your issue is), one of these should work. As I said before, 'svn up && make distclean && ~/bin/makeRdevel' works just fine for me with the configure choice I prefer hardwired in the script. I never sync to r-recommended and *honestly* have no idea what your issue is. I just rebuilt two days ago without an issue: edd@max:~$ ~/bin/R-devel.sh --version|head -1 R Under development (unstable) (2013-03-15 r62262) -- "Unsuffered Consequences" Dirk -- Dirk Eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org | http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
