Err -- Knowing no better way to see how $CRAN/src/contrib changes, I keep a browser window on http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/?M=D -- and it started to show it yesterday. In effect this URL works just fine: http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/1.9.0/ Were you pointing to a mirror that's lagging behind? Dirk

Vincent is talking about the directory for the binary packages for *Windows*. I have just linked 1.9 to 1.8 - it will show up on CRAN master tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder! Uwe
