Whatever that is: we run several sites.

> My question is if there are some scripts for packaging built R and R-GUI binaries to a Mac OS X install package (I was able to build R and R-GUI, but I could not find a way to package them for installation). If so, where could I find it?  I'm new to either building R from scratch or packaging a Mac installation.  When I was reading "R for Mac OS X Developer's Page" at http://r.research.att.com/, I thought that there must be some scripts for packaging to create an installation file, such as R-2.14-branch-leopard.pkg in the web site at http://r.research.att.com/.  I could not find any of such script or helpful information.

The sources for R.app are at 
https://svn.r-project.org/R-packages/trunk/Mac-GUI/, and more general 
Mac OS X build scripts are currently (they are in the process of moving) 
at https://svn.r-project.org/R-dev-web/trunk/QA/Simon/ .

Note: none of those areas are supported, so don't ask for explanations.
