Hi,
Today I downloaded and compiled the last R-devel snapshot. The SVN-REVISION in the tarball contains the following: Revision: 36792 Last Changed Date: 2005-12-18 But after compiling on Unix (I compiled out of tree), I ended up with an SVN-REVSION file containing: Revision: unknown Last Changed Date: Today in the build tree. Then when I start R, I get: R : Copyright Today, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.3.0 Under development (unstable) (Today-Today-Today) ISBN 3-900051-07-0 even if I naively edit the SVN-REVISION in the build tree before to start R. I got this problem on a 64-bit SUSE Linux 9.2, a 32-bit SUSE Linux 9.2 and a Solaris 2.9 sparc system. On Windows however (where I built R directly in the source tree) I don't have this problem. We need to update R-devel on our various build machines in order to test Bioconductor devel packages with last R-devel and we try to have the exact same R revision number on every test-machine. Last time I updated R-devel was 12/01/2005 and I used the same procedure that I am using today but I didn't have the SVN-REVISION problem. Also I didn't try to build R-devel from SVN. Maybe this could solve the problem. It's just that using the tarball was easier to manage. Anyway I thought it might be worth reporting.
