Hi, This is almost certainly a naive question, but what happened to R- devel (2.8.0) for Leopard at http://r.research.att.com/ ? The nightly build appears to be failing. Is there another location to download the developer release for OS10.5? (It was working fine at http://r.research.att.com/ a few weeks ago). Thanks, Joe Franklin

Yes, a HDD failed in the ppc64 (G5) build machine. Hence the builds are incomplete and thus don't pass checks. Rosetta doesn't work for 64- bit, so we cannot use the main (Xeon) machine for ppc64 builds. In fact I have just disabled the ppc64 checks earlier today, so at least tri-arch binaries should be available tomorrow. I think we will soon drop [binary] ppc64 support altogether given that it's such a pain to maintain and has pretty much no benefits.

No in the sense that http://R.research.att.com is the canonical source of the "official" Mac builds. If the builds are not there, then something is wrong and it's being worked on ;). Cheers, Simon
