SVN revision numbers
I'm seeing an error about not being able to find SVN-REVISION in the R (top src dir) when I try to build from current SVN sources. Is this a file that is supposed to be generated that I'm not generating for some reason, or is this supposed to be in the SVN repository? My apologies if I'm catching the repository in an unstable state and this is a known problem. Thanks, Cyrus

You will start to see SVN revision numbers appearing in the the R- devel version of R, for example R : Copyright 2005, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.2.0 Under development (unstable) (2005-05-18 r34401) ISBN 3-900051-07-0 This has been done to enable us to track more precisely the sources used to build R: the date stamp is imprecise and sometimes gets to be wrong in a tarball. Users building from snapshot tarballs will see this as from tomorrow. Windows users who used an SVN checkout will see this with immediate effect. Unix-alike users who use an SVN checkout currently will only see something like:
R.version
_ platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status Under development (unstable) major 2 minor 2.0 year 2005 month 05 day 18 svn rev unknown language R as we still have to decide what to do if e.g. an NFS-mounted SVN checkout is used on a machine without SVN. (In principle that can be done on Windows and it is supposed to be working there, but we don't feel the need to test it on Windows but do under Unix.) -- Brian D.
