Archives

The Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) is a collection of sites which carry identical material, consisting of the R distribution(s), the contributed extensions, documentation for R, and binaries, with the master site at http://CRAN.R-project.org/ and information on daily mirrors available from

http://CRAN.R-project.org/mirrors.html

Bug-tracking system

R has a bug-tracking system (or perhaps a bug-filing system is a more precise description) available on the net at

http://bugs.R-project.org/

and via e-mail to r-bugs@R-project.org. The R function bug.report() can be used to invoke an editor from a within an R session and send the report to the right address. It also fills in some basic information, such as your R version and operating system, which has proved helpful in the debugging process.

The source distribution has a file BUGS at the top level giving a summary of the entries at the time this distribution was prepared.
