[R-sig-ME] lme4 binary for OSX

[Federico Calboli]

Dear All,

I tried to use the package manager in the GUI to connect to http://lme4.r-forge.r-project.org/repos, but I get:

Warning: unable to access index for repository http://lme4.r-forge.r-project.org/repos/bin/macosx/contrib/3.0

I noticed that there is a binary here:

http://lme4.r-forge.r-project.org/repos/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/3.0/

(i.e. the GUI package manager is not resolving the right address I presume).

Hence I have two questions.  Does the R-forge lme4 page need a tweak?  Is that binary the latest and greatest, safe to use with R 3.0.0 on a 64-bit mac running OS 10.8.3?

Best wishes

F

PS I CC'd Simon and Hans-Jörg in case the problem is not on the r-forge page but on how the GUI resolves the address.
