Subject: [Rd] Run up to R 2.0.0 for package maintainers
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0409070849490.8420-100000@gannet.stats>

The major changes for R 2.0.0 are now in place, and we have provided a set 
of notes for package maintainers at

	http://developer.r-project.org/200update.txt

on both changes needed and new opportunities.

The main thing which needs to be done is to revise the DESCRIPTION file, 
in particular to ensure the Depends: field is accurate.

We do run daily checks over all the CRAN packages. See

	http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/checkSummary.html

(Unfortunately although the checks have been run last week, the summary 
has not been updated since Aug 29.)
