Hi,
 
I am building r-patch from the sources (rsync-ed today).
 
make check produced the following message:
 
running tests of Internet and socket functions
  expect some differences
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/evahome/vograno/R/tests'
running code in 'internet.R' ... OK
comparing 'internet.Rout' to './internet.Rout.save' ...18c18

I noticed that I had to expect some differences so my question is how to
tell whether it's harmless or not?
 
 
Other questions are related to building of recommended packages:
* The src/library/Recommended directory was empty. Is it expected? If
yes, how to download the entire bundle of recommended packages (I know I
can get them one by one)? Is install.packaes() the recommended way?
* make check tried to test MASS and survival (and failed because the
packages were not there), but it didn't try to test the other
recommended  packages. Why only these two?
 
 
Thanks,
Vadim
