Hi, The cleanup_pkg() function defined the big tools:::.build_packages() function in tools/R/build.R is currently broken. When Makefiles are used cleanup_pkg() doesn't clean anything because of the way system2() is called. For example, the call to Ssystem() on line 304 (Ssystem is a silent version of system2) is basically trying to do this: > system2(past...

...ot;R_GZIPCMD") if (!nzchar(GZIP)) GZIP <- "gzip" seems to address the problem even though I admit it doesn't provide a lot of insight about what's really going on. But it seems safe. Could it be applied as a workaround? If that is not desirable, could the tools:::.build_packages() function not put quotes around the value of the TAR environment variable (the code does shQuote(TAR)), at least on Windows, so I can set this variable to tar --no-same-owner Note that the use of quotes around TAR is inconsistent across utils::untar(), utils::tar() and tools:::.build_package...

Hi all, I can't figure out how to make this problem easily reproducible, but I can demonstrate it very simply, so I hoped someone might be able to suggest a place to start: > f <- function(x) substitute(x) > f(x) x > f(mpg) mpg attr(,"id") [1] 11 It works as expected in a clean R session: > f <- function(x) substitute(x) > f(x) x > f(mpg) mpg but not

Hi, This is a follow-up to the problem reported here: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-September/058460.html After I updated R-2.12 to 2010-09-13 r52905 on the Bioc build system, some of the packages that have a Makefile in <pkg>/inst/doc still don't build on Windows. For example, 'R\bin\R.exe CMD build adSplit' gives: * checking for file
