Frozen means "no available" ?
Frozen = Yes means, that the toolchain does not change any more and is
fixed to be used for the corresponding versions of R mentioned in the table.
Frozen = no means it may be updated from time to time to allow for new
features or bugfixes.

So, PortfolioAnalytics cannot be used on Linux or Win until Mar. 2012 ?
Are there substitutes ?
Any help will be appreciated.

(1) If you have R 2.15.2 on your computer, you need Rtools215, not
216; the latter is for the upcoming 2.16 release that is in beta right
now and is not expected to be released before late March 2013.
(2) If you go to the project page on R-Forge,
https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=579
you'll discover that PortfolioAnalytics failed to build there. Until
it does, you won't be able to install the development version of the
package in your R library. When it does, you would use something like
install.packages("PortfolioAnalytics", repos =
"r-forge.r-project.org", type = "source")
at the command line to install it. This is necessary on Linux, but
depending on the package, there may be available binaries for Windows
and Mac, in which case you can install those instead of having to
build it from source and you can remove the last argument above from
the install.packages() call.

Hi,
I am trying to install a package (PortfolioAnalytics) of R 2.15.2 on Win 7.
I have tried the following instructions on :
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11105131/cannot-install-r-forge-package-using-install-packages
I used svn checkout svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/returnanalytics/ to
get the package and then copy it to my Win 7.
Then, on Win 7 I run:
install.packages('PortfolioAnalytics', type='source', repos='<The location of the
package on Win 7>')
I got
Warning: unable to access index for repository
C:/myPath/library/returnanalytics/pkg/PerformanceAnalytics/src/contrib
Warning: package ‘PortfolioAnalytics’ is not available (for R version 2.15.2)
I also tried
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4739837/how-do-i-install-an-r-package-from-the-source-tarball-on-windows
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Windows-packages (6.3.1
Windows)
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#The-Windows-toolset
(Appendix D The Windows toolset)
I have installed RTools216 on Win 7. But, it does not say how to use it to
build a R package on Win 7.
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/Rtools216.exe
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
