Something seems to be wrong with the beta_latest links on cran.at and cran.us. The betas themselves are there (by date) but the link is not right. Paul Gilbert

Hmm. This has to do with the fact that the dir is now rsynced to CRAN
rather than mirrored, so the current link (which is correct for the
build machine) doesn't work:
-rw-r--r-- 1 pd pd 9495783 Apr 2 05:11
R-1.9.0beta_2004-04-02.tar.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pd pd 54 Apr 2 05:23
R-1.9.0beta_latest.tar.gz -> /var/rsync/cran/src/base/R-1.9.0beta_2004-04-02.tar.gz
I suspect that wants to be a relative link. Rsync experts?

Can you change your install script on cvs.r-project.org to use a relative path name in the symbolic link instead of an absolute path name?

Done, I think. Could you check whether it rsync's better with the new link?

Works for me. Could one of the CRAN maintainers please make a point to check it on cran.r-project.org after the next mirror run?

Just a mere mirror maintainer...
but the beta_latest link is now okay.
