This is really an svn question. Perhaps asking/searching on an svn list would be helpful. Personally, I don't think R's package building tools should do anything svn specific. There is no reason to expect/enforce svn as *the* SCM that people use to develop R packages. + seth ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
