Here's source code for the release on GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/SurajGupta/r-source" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/SurajGupta/r-source</a><p>The R team maintains an SVN repo, but I prefer browsing source on GitHub
Seems to compile ok (under my home drive) on Scientific Linux 5.9 using the instructions at<p><a href="http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Simple-compilation" rel="nofollow">http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.h...</a><p>Passes all the supplied tests and my simple scripts run just as they did on 2.13.<p>I had to get the source tar from a US mirror as the UK ones have not sync'ed yet.<p>PDF manual did not build as the version of LaTeX on EL 5.9 is fairly ancient. ggplot2 installs fine though.
