Apologies, I forgot to say, I have R 2.14.2, latest 64-bit GUI

I just noticed the following weird issue. If I go to the menu
'Packages and Data', select 'Package
Installer' the installer goes up, but when I tell it to give the
list of binaries available (I like to keep up
to date, and check every couple of days) the list comes up empty.
The list for CRAN sources, and for
Bioconductor binaries work fine.
I tried to change the mirror, but it does not make a difference.
Am I the only one with the problem? what's going on?
I second this observation.
What is going on is that
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.14/ has an empty
PACKAGES file. Given that it hadn't been updated for a couple of weeks
on Weds, you may just need to be patient. But in any case, only Simon
can fix this as only he has sufficient access to the package builder.
So reporting to Simon is always going to be the most effective way
forward for similar problems.
Perhaps this can encourage people to test 2.15.0 beta? Its binary
package repository does have a populated PACKAGES file.
