| r_release_tarball {rversions} | R Documentation |
Latest release for which a source tarball is available for download
Description
r_release() works based on the SVN tags in the main R source code
repository. However, an SVN tag does not mean that the same version
is available for download. r_release_tarball returns the latest
version for which a source tarball is available.
Usage
r_release_tarball()
Value
A one row data frame, with columns ‘version’, ‘date’, ‘URL’ and ‘nickname’.
