i wouldn't oppose building for 10.9 in general, but you don't get installation 
images any more. of course, there are dubious cracked images floating around 
on the net, but those are not an option (especially not for setting up an 
environmet to build software for other people).

so i'm afraid we're stuck with 10.10 for precompiled bundles for now.

do you think you could try to build a bundle on your 10.9 system? it basically 
means keeping your CPU cores busy for some hours and using up some gigabytes 
of disk space. you could do this on a throw-away clone of your system and just 
keep the bundle. i can guide you through the process -- i've just updated my 
own scripts so that they build up everything from scratch.

looks like they didn't catch up on 0.6.3 yet:
 http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=rkward
@thomas: can you do something about that?
 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rkward

you can, however, always get the latest release (stable, development, or daily 
build from git sources) from the launchpad PPA:
 https://launchpad.net/~rkward-devel
calling "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:rkward-devel/rkward-stable" would 
configure the stable RKWard repository with standard R packages permanently, 
whereas "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:rkward-devel/rkward-dailys-cran" would 
set the system to use daily builds compiled for CRAN R packages, for example.
