Sean, if type is set to mac.binary, then the contrib url is what reported by Seth (and 2.3 only applies to R-devel, no binaries available at the moment unless you point to a repository that builds packages against R-devel. I think Seth is using R-devel for his test). If you install from source, then it should not happen that you get "macosx" in the url, as we only have one "path" for the sources (no matter the architecture). On R-2.2.0 I get
contrib.url('foo')
[1] "foo/bin/macosx/powerpc/contrib/2.2" which is correct. Cran binary of CRAN reports
sessionInfo()
R version 2.2.0, 2005-10-06, powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0 so it seems to me that Sean is using a R-devel version of R-2.1.0 and not the final one. The contrib.url function has been changed indeed just before official final release of R-2.2.0 stefano
Stefano, Thanks for these details. That is probably the issue, as this particular R version was a devel version. Sean
