[Rd] missing binaries in R-devel windows snapshot 78175
The "r-devel snapshot build" 78175 on Windows--- a dot-exe installer--- seems to be missing a couple of files in its bin/i386 folder: Rterm.exe and Rgui.exe. Both are present in its bin/x64 folder (and in the i386 folder for current R). NB the lack of i386/Rterm.exe affects even the x64 version, since package installation seems to use it for testing loadability under both architectures (at least on the one package that I tried to install). I've got a feeling that I've noticed this with some previous R-devel, but never got round to reporting it before the official R version caught up. cheers Mark Mark Bravington CSIRO Marine Lab Hobart Australia __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

I just tested this and as far as I can tell there are no missing
files. Are you sure there isn't a local problem with your system
permissions or antivirus that is removing the files?
Try to verify the md5 of the installer; some enterprise firewalls are
tampering with downloads:
openssl::md5(url('https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/R-devel-win.exe'))
readLines('https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/md5sum.txt.R-devel')

That is to be expected, the AMS symbol dump in PUA space was a quick hack to make pre-unicode symbols available in an unicode world, pending their normalisation. That standardisation is long past (IIRC it occured by unicode 3.2 released in March 2002), so no newly created/updated font family is going to place those symbols in PUA anymore. Now adding the AMS symbols to new fonts has been slow, due to the large amount of software hardcoding Symbol (and equivallent) and masking the actual glyph userbase to font makers. It will accelerate with more apps expecting plain unicode by default. Thanks for the testing!

You're quite right--- my apologies. I've been Cylanced (without it having the
politeness to actually tell me, g). I tried again with the 78172 build that
you used, and the two dot-exe files are there immediately after installation---
but 10 minutes later they're gone. One question below about the md5 stuff,
though:

Thanks for the tip. I did that, and both give the same output. But:
- If I run 'md5sum' on my local copy of the 78182 installer (ie the file I've
just downloaded) I again get the same signature as per your two lines. (It's
not the firewall, it's Cylance.)
- Yet if I run 'openssl::md5( )' I get a different
signature!
That seems strange..?
Thanks for your help
Mark

I think you're calculating the md5 of the filename, not the file. You
need to use:
openssl::md5(file("R-devel-win.exe"))
