quick question. How does one know which R versions r-release


The latest official release, i.e. currently R-3.1.2.

Thanks!

How does one know what is the latest official release? Is parsing the
R homepage the best way to determine it?

I'd say yes.

Or the latest tarball? Or can
I use the latest R-x-y-z tag from the SVN repository?

I assume that works.


and r-oldrel


If R-x.y.z is recent, then r-oldrel corresponds to the latest "y-1" version,
i.e. currently R-3.0.3.

So this also means that when (say) R-3.0.2 was r-release, 2.15.3 was r-oldrel?

Right.

Best,
Uwe

Thanks again,
Gabor
