Re: [Rd] Missing Windows binary for R-2.15RC?
You should be capable of building R on Windows from the SVN sources or daily source tarballs. After all, when (as often happens) BioC has an inconsistent set of source or binaries (like released packages depending on unreleased packages, on unreleased versions), the BioC core team tell me to get the sources from your SVN.

Hi, The page http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rtest.html has a link to: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/R-2.15.0rc-win.exe However, clicking on that link gives a 404 "Object not found' error.

However, if you use the CRAN mirror hosted by YOUR organization, you can get the file. :-) I don't think so: http://cran.fhcrc.org/bin/windows/base/R-2.15.0rc-win.exe gives me a 404 as well. Dan I didn't look closely enough at what you were asking for (RC versus beta). R-2.15RC may not have been up-loaded yet. However, I just downloaded it from the original link that was posted, so it appears to be available now. It may have happened that the scripts generated the webpages before the binary was built and checked (since "beta" became "rc" yesterday). Yes, they need manual tweaking at the conversion, and I did it after the first upload. If this happens again (which is pretty likely), you can manually download the previous version by editing the URL to put in "alpha" in place of "beta", or "beta" in place of "rc". ... or have a fixed name instead (on OS X we just use 2.15-branch which is unambiguous). For the record I find it extremely annoying that even the installation target name changes in the installer - I keep having to change it to R-2.15 all the time, because I don't see why you would want to have alpha/beta/rc/release of the same R version installed in separate directories by default - but that may be just me ;). To a lesser degree the same applies to patch versions, but since those are released I could see an argument for that, even though in practice I think it is not useful either (because typically you just want to upgrade and not another copy). I'm neutral about the name changes, but I don't think any of this is enough of a problem to be worth the time to fix. If someone else wants to do it, then I'd be happy to let you take over. Thanks all of you for looking into this. Bioconductor usually needs the binaries as soon as they are available so if there is a sustainable way to solve this, we'd appreciate it very much.

I'd like to have this handled automatically as it was in the past, but I don't know the Windows CMD script language well enough to do it. If any experts want to volunteer to fix this (I think you need to create a batch script variable from the suffix in a filename), please write to me offline.

Hi, The page http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rtest.html has a link to: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/R-2.15.0rc-win.exe However, clicking on that link gives a 404 "Object not found' error. FYI. Dan I experienced the same error you did using the link you provided. However, if you use the CRAN mirror hosted by YOUR organization, you can get the file. :-) I don't think so: http://cran.fhcrc.org/bin/windows/base/R-2.15.0rc-win.exe gives me a 404 as well. Dan I didn't look closely enough at what you were asking for (RC versus beta). R-2.15RC may not have been up-loaded yet. However, I just downloaded it from the original link that was posted, so it appears to be available now. It may have happened that the scripts generated the webpages before the binary was built and checked (since "beta" became "rc" yesterday).
