The 1.7.0 (2003-04-16) "R Installation and Adminsistration"
manual mentions various flavors of R available from rsync (section
1.2, p. 1). These are also referred to in various other sources on
and offline (e.g., the FAQ).
The meaning of r-release vs r-patched was not entirely clear to me.
How is the patched version patched? Should it just have bug fixes,
and so likely be more reliable than r-release? Or is it patched with
a lot of development changes, so that it's quite like r-devel?
It would be helpful to say a little more about these matters.
