how often are stable released made?
weekly? monthly?

I am not prepared to learn much in that district yet.
I would be interested in something similar to install.package(), but not beyond.

>> Version: 1.6 | Last change: 2011-09-13 15:18:16+02 | Rev.: 447

this seems to imply that the changes I am interested in are not
available yet.

>> install.packages("e1071", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org";)

this seems to install the same 1.6 yet again.
why doesn't it check that this same version has already been installed?
