This is to announce that we plan to release R version 2.8.0 on Monday,
October 20, 2008.

Release procedures start Friday, September 19. The detailed schedule can
be found on http://developer.r-project.org

The source tarballs will be made available daily (barring build
troubles) and the tarballs can be picked up at

http://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/

a little later.

Binary builds are expected to appear starting Monday, September 22.

There's already an announcement about R 2.8.0, and yet there are still
no R-2.7.2 binaries (rpms) for Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.  Can the
usual responsible party get on it?  Can the system be improved to get
more timely builds out on CRAN?

Thanks,
Scott Waichler

We'll see what we can do.  I have forwarded your email to Bob Kinney,
who builds the RHEL RPMS.
