I just try the new R version 3.0.0. All is good until now.
However, I had the surprise to see that all packages are not available.
For CRAN, they all are, by definition. They are source packages, not
tied to any version of R (although a dozen or so depend on R >= 3.0.0
and most of those have earlier versions in the archive).
There are two packages which have been withdrawn because they do not
work in R 3.0.0, dataframe and parser. Much of the facilities of
package 'parser' are in base R now.
This is not the list on which to discuss OS X binary packages - that is
R-sig-mac.
Until now I found one missing for OSX among these I used: maptools
Is there a list of packages that were available in CRAN for 2.15 version
and no more available ?
Eh? maptools is available: you can build it from source on OS X.
http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_maptools.html
shows the problem is that rgeos is not on the CRAN build machine: it can
be installed on OS X, though, with the geos binaries from
http://r.research.att.com/libs/ .
So the moral is: do your homework. Check the CRAN package page for
clues, and try installing from the sources.
And thanks a lot for all the programmers and maintainers for this great
software.
Sincerely,
Marc Girondot
