what folder to run write_PACKAGES in?
I set up a local repo for testing packages. My packages are not
showing up from the repository when viewed by Linux clients. I suspect
this is a web administrator/firewall issue, but it could be I created
the repo wrongly. I am supposed to run write_PACKAGES separately in
each R-version folder. Right?
Maybe other novices can use these scripts, if they are not wrong :)
Here's the file structure. On the file space that the Web server can
see, I create a folder "/tools/kran" and directories

\value section for write_PACKAGES not updated
Hi,
Found in \value section of man page for tools::write_PACKAGES:
Invisibly returns the number of packages described in the resulting
\file{PACKAGES} and \file{PACKAGES.gz} files. If \code{0}, no
packages were found and no files were written.
Those days (don't know when this has changed exactly), PACKAGES and

Can't install.packages() from local repo in 2.15.2
...age installer: 2.15.2 (r61015)
```
I have Rtools 2.16 installed (as this is for R >2.15.1 to R 2.16.x). I have also followed the instructions here: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#The-Windows-toolset
I copy that to L:/R/bin/windows/contrib/2.15 (for example), run `tools::write_PACKAGES()` in that directory. That successfully generates the packages file. I also run `tools::write_PACKAGES()` in L:/R/src/contrib to generate an empty PACKAGES file.
I have the following in my .Rprofile (among other things):

Package 'tools' support for linux binary packages?
...my digest package this
creates eg
digest_0.6.18.1_R_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
where 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' is also what `R.version[["platform"]]` returns.
However, once I started to look into supporting this via my repository helper
package `drat`, I realized that the `tools::write_PACKAGES` function only
supports the three file types `drat` already knows about: source, and mac and
windows binaries.

Error in read.dcf(file = tmpf) : Line starting '<head> ...' is malformed!
...m on R-Forge but I still need to have various versions of my package that
R-Forge does not build (for R 2.8.1 for example).
So I followed the instructions in this document:
Hhttp://
cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Setting-up-a-package-repository
and used this function as recommended:
*write_PACKAGES()*
Now, when I try to install or update my package, I get:

missing space in R version specifier makes PACKAGES file unreadable by install.packages()
...repos="http://george2/BBS/2.12/bioc")
Error in do.call(op, list(v_c, v_t[[op]])) :
could not find function "R (>=2.15.1)"
The problem can be fixed by adding a space after >= in the offending
package's DESCRIPTION file and re-generating the PACKAGES file with
tools:::write_PACKAGES().
However, this worked OK in r62077. I'm not sure if >=2.15.1 (without
the space) is valid syntax, but I wonder if R can be a bit more
forgiving, as this issue derailed our daily builds.

Lack of final newline in write.dcf changes append usage
The change in r42731 eliminating the final blank line when writing DCF
files changes the way 'append' can be used in 'write.dcf' and I was
wondering if this is intentional. Basically, I want to write a data
frame to DCF format one row at a time, so I make use of repeated calls
to 'write.dcf(append = TRUE)'. However, in R 2.6.0RC the resulting DCF
file is not formatted

tools:: extracting pkg dependencies from DCF
...ld like to raise a request for a simple helper function.
Utility function to extract package dependencies from DESCRIPTION file.
I do think that tools package is better place, for such a fundamental
functionality, than community packages.
tools pkg seems perfect fit (having already great function write_PACKAGES).
Functionality I am asking for is already in R svn repository since 2016, in
a branch tools4pkgs. Function is called 'packages.dcf'.
Another one 'repos.dcf' would be a good functional complementary to it.
Those two simple helper functions really makes it easier for organizations...

PATCH: Add fields argument to installed.packages and available.packages
Hi all,
The write_PACKAGES function has a 'fields' argument that allows a user
generating a PACKAGES file to specify additional fields to include.
For symmetry, it would be nice for the available.packages function to
be able to read those extra fields when specified.
Similarly, it would be useful for installed.packa...

Keeping package sources for recompilation with new R version?
Hi
I am using Ubuntu Hardy, and I installing many packages from source. I am
keeping my R packages fairly up to date.
My question is: is there a way, of keeping the source packages, so that when
I am installing a new version of R, an update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE) will
only fetch the packages when newer ones are available, but otherwise will
use the local copies?
To rephrase it, is it

Strategy for downloading packages
I have a client who wants to install R and a custom package on a machine
with no internet connection, so he wants to put everything needed on a
CDROM and install from there.
I've told him how to work out what is needed, but it seems that too much
manual work is needed: he needs to install the packages from .zip files
(this is Windows) in the right order so dependencies are met, etc.

install.packages for local zip files
O/S: Linux
R version : 2.2.1
The R server doesn't have http internet access. And the sys admins will
not install the R libraries that I requested. So I have downloaded the
packages that I want to intall and have moved them into my home
directory on the server. These are a series of *.tar.gz files. I want
to install the R libraries in my home directory, but I can't get it to
work.

How to set up an own package repository
Dear List,
I'd like to set up a package repository so I can use install.packages() on
it for home-grown packages. I set up an AMPP infrastructure on a windows box

any web-programming/admin yet. Could anyone recommend some r-specific
tutorials or has a couple of suggestions for me? I've had a look at the
