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 (U...

Hi, The following is a cut/paste from http://developer.r-project.org/200update.txt: ... 3) When a package is installed, all the data sets are loaded to see what they produce. If this is undesirable (because they are enormous, or depend on other packages that need to be installed later, ...), add a `datalist' file to the data subdirectory as described in `Wr...

...elp(require) says: The source code for a package that requires one or more other packages should have a call to 'require', preferably near the beginning of the source, and of course before any code that uses functions, classes or methods from the other package. and 200update.txt points out that the data/*.R files must be self sufficient, suggesting "require(pkg, quietly=TRUE, save=FALSE)" if needed. My .R file in the data subdirectory looks like this: require(calibrator, quietly=TRUE, save=FALSE) data(expert.estimates, package="calibrator&quo...

Hello, I was trying to install Rggobi in the latest version of R and it gave me a compilation error for R CMD INSTALL Rggobi_1.0-0.tar.gz RSGGobi.C: In function RS_GGOBI_init (R_IsNaNorNA) undeclared (line 77) I searched for this function in R src files and it was abandoned in ~/R-2.0.0/src/include/R_ext/Arith.h file. Only functions int R_IsNA(double); /* True for R's NA only */

Hi all, Bioconductor has several metaData packages that contain quite large data sets. In the past, these data were simply held in the /data directory of the package as .rda files and load()ed as needed. Converting to using lazy data loading may have memory and performance advantages, but for the larger metaData packages the installation is painfully slow (it has taken > 30 min to install a

I'm still working to add namespace support to some of my packages. I've removed the 'Depends' line from the DESCRIPTION file, and created an appropriate NAMESPACE files. Strangely, whenever I use 'importFrom(package, function)' R CMD check generates "Namespace dependencies not required" warnings . Without the import statements, the warning does not occur, but

Hi, I have been informed of a bug in the concord package, in that the data files containing the tabulated critical values for Kendall's W are not loaded on the command library(concord). I had assumed that the lines in install.R would correspond to the commands to load data in R, e.g. data(Wcrit01) data(Wcrit05) While these work on the command line, I get the errors: library(concord)
