Development version of lme4 now passes its tests

Hello all,

I'm not sure that things are fixed. See below.

You're correct, Bernd, that the versions available by  
install.packages
from the repository at R-forge.R-packages.org appear to be out of
date.  Even the tar.gz file scm-latest.tar.gz is out of date
(apparently from January 04).

Those who can build a package from the source files can obtain the
latest version from the SVN archive at R-forge (instructions are  
given
at the SCM tab on the main project page).  I have just submitted the
package to Uwe's win-builder.R-project.org site to create a binary
Windows package, which I will make available on my web site as
http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~bates/lme4-2008-01-06-wiin32.zip

Stefan: Will someone be able to check on what is happening to the
nightly builds?

this is fixed. the permissions were wrong in the svn export directory.
This was because of some experimenting a few days ago.

the latest binaries are now available as usual.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Best,
Stefan
