Not an issue for *this* list!

I used this list to share this with package developers - not
particularly MacOS X users.  As a package provider  I'd like to know
when packages are not available on all platforms.  It seems like a
errors, because the records show that packages are typically built
every day.


Please report to the maintainer and perhaps cc R-sig-mac.

Maintainer has been notified repeatably without response (==don't know
if my messages even gets through).


I wonder where you were sending your notifications -- quite apparently not to the right place as I didn't get any ...

Anyway, now that it reached me (through suboptimal channels as Brian pointed out) it should be fixed for the next run.


 Note that you are
looking at the (old) Tiger binaries and not the more current Leopard ones,
which were last updated yesterday,

Thanks for this note.  As a non-OSX user, I wasn't aware of this.  It
made me find:

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/r-release/

This is not the directory that are used for the MacOS X links when
going to package pages under http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/,
e.g.

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/aroma.core/

The MacOS X links is:

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/r-release/aroma.core_1.3.1.tgz

Another example is here:

 http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/biglars/

Then, do the MacOS X links on the CRAN package pages need to be
updated/complemented?


I think so -- there is currently a discrepancy - the checks show Leopard builds but that link is to the Tiger build -- Kurt, can you, please, check?


If this is already well known, that is all I need to hear.  (I
understand that install.packages() takes care of the installation).

In any case, binary packages are a privilege and you can always install from the sources (in the vast majority of cases with no extra tools other than
Xcode).
