Hi All, this is a CRAN question, so I am sorry if this is not the appropriate forum. I noticed that there is at least one CRAN package that has a binary (OSX Mavericks) for a version, that does not have any source package on CRAN. Or at least I am unable to locate it. The package is Rglpk: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rglpk/index.html
I went there and say a source package: <quote> Downloads: Reference manual:Rglpk.pdf Package source:Rglpk_0.6-0.tar.gz <<<!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOURCE !!!!!!!!!!!>>> Windows binaries:r-devel: Rglpk_0.6-0.zip, r-release: Rglpk_0.6-0.zip, r-oldrel: Rglpk_0.6-0.zip OS X Snow Leopard binaries:r-release: Rglpk_0.6-0.tgz, r-oldrel: Rglpk_0.6-0.tgz OS X Mavericks binaries:r-release: Rglpk_0.5-2.tgz Old sources:Rglpk archive </quote> Or: http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Rglpk_0.6-0.tar.gz
It offers a binary for 0.5-2, but there is no 0.5-2 source package
anywhere. Is this simply a mistake, or it is OK to have binary-only
packages on CRAN?
Thanks much, Best,
