Dear all,
I have been quickly playing with [1] to generate a kind of report on the package that would need work. There is the report:
spot -- R-nws is outdated, 2.0.0.3 vs 1.7.0.0 upstream denisarnaud -- R-msm is outdated, 0.9.5 vs 0.9.6 upstream orion -- R-car is outdated, 1.2 vs 1.2.16 upstream orion -- R-lmtest is outdated, 0.9 vs 0.9.26 upstream orion -- R-multcomp is outdated, 1.1 vs 1.1.6 upstream orion -- R-mvtnorm is outdated, 0.9 vs 0.9.9 upstream orion -- R-systemfit is outdated, 1.1 vs 1.1.4 upstream orion -- R-zoo is outdated, 1.6 vs 1.6.2 upstream pingou -- R-Biostrings is outdated, 2.14.10 vs 2.14.12 upstream jamatos -- R-mAr is outdated, 1.1.1 vs 1.1.2 upstream jamatos -- R-waveslim is outdated, 1.6.1 vs 1.6.3 upstream nigelj -- R-RSQLite is outdated, 0.8.1 vs 0.8.3 upstream Total: 12 packages outdated/needing some work
I believe all the packages of orion are false positive (it is the issue of the - in the version number). I believe R-nws is also wrong, but the page on the cran is not been updated since 1.7.0.0.
We could imagine a monthly reminder if you are interested.
Best regards,
Pierre

Well, its an odd situation. There is a newer R-nws, but it depends on code that Revolution Computing didn't ever properly release. Ubuntu has copies of the deps, but I don't think they're built from source, and I couldn't find upstream locations for them.
I put in a query a few months ago and heard back from Danese Cooper at Revolution Computing, who was going to find the sources and get them to me so I could properly package up the new dependencies, but she was fired before it got any farther, and she informed me that they were backing away from their open source strategies and would not be making the source available.
The whole deal left a very bad taste in my mouth, so I'm content to leave R-nws where it is.
