Where is the link on www.r-project.org or CRAN to download source code for
development versions of packages? This is straightforward for BioConductor
packages but I can't seem to find it for R packages.
It is a Bioconductor concept. It conflates two ideas -- versions of
packages for the development version of R, and development versions of
packages (possibly for current R). Many package authors do not make
public their development work, but some can be found on the R-packages SVN
repository and on the Rforges.
Most CRAN packages run under the R-devel
version of R. For those that do not and need incompatible changes have
versions in, e.g., 2.8.0/Other (currently empty).
As far as I am aware, all CRAN packages that fail under R-devel
(see the on-line 'daily' checks) are failing because of stricter error
checking which has revealed bugs present also under 2.7.x.
