Yes, I am aware of the build process before the tarball. The mail should only take some attention on it ;) Since end of August, there had been a change of the location, where devel and patched sources are located: from https://stat.ethz.ch/R/daily/ to ::mirror::/pub/misc/cran/src/base-prerelease/ Perhaps something with the cron jobs did not follow these changes? > Is there a need for an R-devel.tar.gz in src/base-prerelease? It would just > be a copy of the most recent one. I prefer the R-devel.tar.gz without date and version number for automated fetching and building R-devel on FreeBSD on an almost daily basis.
