Dear Spencer, Nice initiative! I discover a lot of packages not by explicit search, but by running into them. I find cranberries really helpful there, especially the twitter feed (@CRANberries) and also r-bloggers, especially through Joseph Rickert's monthly roundup of new packages. And then of course there is the R journal and JSS, but those speak for themselves. So maybe a 'keeping up

Dear Debian People: Is there a way to run a little script (on Ubuntu Manic Meerkat) every hour, please? I know that this is more of a LINUX/UNIX question rather than an R question. Sorry.

I want to be able to have different layouts in my rails program for different functions. For example, when a person first comes to the site the layout will have a link that says ''home'', ''login'', or register on the menu bar. Once the user logs in however, the layout will change. I want it to show the links ''account manager'',

Announcing cran2deb: 1700+ Debian packages from almost all of CRAN ------------------------------------------------------------------ Last Friday's presentation at UseR! 2009 was the first really public mention of 'cran2deb'. It provides Debian packages of all of CRAN. It started as Charles' project from last year's Google Summer of Code, was further extended by us over the

I want to make a for loop that concats strings onto a variable: html .= var1 + "this is a test" + whatever What is the syntax that does this in ruby/rails? Also, is there a ''print'' method in ruby? Because when I try to use render_text it will only let me use this once. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

How do I check if an entry exists before saving? Someone one told me to use the method find_or_create (or something like that) but it didn''t work because I think the version of rails that we have is not the most recent. I need a way to check if an id exists in the db before saving. Any suggestions? Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have a question about displaying digits in Rails. whenever I print the price of an item, if the last digit is a zero or double zeros then it doesn''t display properly. How do I display a number so that it looks like currency? thank you! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''d like to search the archives, but when I click on ''search'', the search page doesn''t show up. When will the search engine be up again? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The cran2deb archives target testing. I just pulled a package from them onto a stable system; the library loaded but said > library(akima) Warning message: package 'akima' was built under R version 2.10.0 Are this and other packages likely to work correctly with different R's (2.7 in the case of stable)? How well are they likely to work with a backported R? The R version would

Hi folks, Over the last few weeks, one of our WinXP machines (of many) has started generating errors like the following in our log files: Jul 5 09:43:30 blah smbd[13180]: blah-xp (192.168.1.1) couldn't find service sharename.dll where "sharename" is a real share name that this user should be mapping. We see lots of these errors, one for each share the user tries to map. In

I need to use a method (called by one of my controllers) without using the layout. All the other methods in the controller need to use this layout except for thismethod (becausae it''s called by an Ajax script). I know how to use :layout=>layout_name when calling a method from another method, but nothing is calling this. The layout needs to be removed in the method itself or I need

Hi! Thanks for this service! It is very helpful to know what is being developed. I distribute the content to other venues and I noticed some times that the updates are duplicated. For example, the sentence "?is.R()? is deprecated as no other S dialect is known to be in use (and this could only identify historical dialects, not future ones)." is duplicated in different days: Day 1:

Years ago Duncan set up a nightly job to feed RSS based off changes to NEWS, borrowing some setup parts from CRANberries as for example the RSS 'compiler'. That job is currently showing the new \I{...} curly protection in an unfavourable light. Copying from the RSS reader I had pointed at this since the start [1], for today I see (indented by four spaces) CHANGES IN R-devel

Hi folks, I'm trying to migrate an old uw-imap server to dovecot, and running into puzzling (to me) permission problems. I've configured mail_location as follows: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u and each user's mail directory has permissions like this: drwx------ 2 uid gid 4096 Jul 5 09:26 /home/uid/mail But when I try to check a user's mail using

Hi folks, I'm running several samba servers that use "security= server" and "password server" to point authentications to a WinNT pdc. Snooping at the network traffic, I find that the samba server initially tries to connect to the WinNT server through port 445 (which fails), then reverts to 139 (which succeeds). I know it's possible to use the "samba

Hello, All: Might you have time to review the article I recently posted to Wikiversity on "Searching R Packages" (https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Searching_R_Packages)? Please edit this yourself or propose changes in the associated "Discuss" page or in an email to this list or to me. My goal in this is to invite readers to turn that article into a proposal

Hi, I posted this a week ago on r-help but did not get an answer. So I hope that someone here can help me: I want to define some options for my package the user may change. It would be convenient if the changes could be saved when terminating an R session and recovered automatically on the next package load. Is that possible and if yes, is the standard way to implement this? Thanks, Mark

Hello, Here are a few questions that would be useful to get an answer via dedicated functions in utils or tools packages: - When did function foo appeared in R or in a given package? - When did argument myarg appeared in function foo? - When did function bar get deprecated or when did it disappeared? - I wrote a script using functions foo and bar with R 1.9.1. My script does not work any more
