Hi all, Sorry if this doesn't end up in the thread. Tobias Verbeke forwarded that e-mail to me, because he thought I would be interested in maintaining the Programming Tools CTV. I wasn't subscribed to R-devel yet, but I would indeed like to volunteer to maintain the Programming Tools CTV. It will be my first time creating a CTV, so some guidance on getting it setup will be appreciated. I myself am very interested in better/easier ways to develop faster and nicer code...

Dear Willem, Personally, I use the R-forge project for the distribution CTV : https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/ctv/ It?s an alternative option to github.

Since I had too much junk cluttering my computer, I recently re-set it back to factory settings, in the process eliminating R. I now have to reload R and packages, and would like to do that via the install.views command. I have successfully downloaded the package "ctv" but R does not recognize install.views. What am I doing wrong? I am using R 2.4.0. Pierre D'Ange. "To automatically install these views, the ctv package needs to be installed, e.g., via install.packages("ctv") and then the views can be installed via install.views (after...

...R, after several years of using S-Plus (with mixed success). I saw a recommendation on another mailing list for the Environmetrics and Spatial Task Views, as a good way for a new user to get started actually using R. The Task Views page at CRAN says: "To automatically install these views, the ctv package needs to be installed, e.g., via install.packages("ctv")and then the views can be installed via install.views (after loading ctv), e.g., install.views("Econometrics")" I have installed "ctv" and I'm assuming that "loading ctv" means entering...

Dear developeRs, in the last month I mentioned in several discussions on R-help that Kurt and I were working on tools for "CRAN Task Views" which should help to structure the fast-growing list of packages on CRAN. Now the first version of a package called ctv (for CRAN Task Views) is available from CRAN and also two frist drafts for such views can be seen at http://CRAN.R-project.org/src/contrib/Views/ When you install the ctv package you can also query this from within R via: CRAN.views() install.views("Econometrics", lib = "/pat...

...r several weeks, I noticed that nothing has been coming through. I used the R-for-Mac graphics console and I find that there are many packages where new versions have come out which I don't have. Is something wrong with update.packages()? I also noticed that the CRAN Task Views function update.ctv() > update.ctv <- function(view, force.bundles = FALSE) { f <- function(x) if (x[1] == view) x$packagelist$name ctv.pkgs <- unlist( sapply( CRAN.views(), f) ) idx <- if (force.bundles) 1 else c(1,5) installed.pkgs <- c(installed.packages()[,idx]) dnld.package...

...nd maintain because the XML format is rather limited (no sectioning) and the <packagelist> must be maintained manually. They are also difficult to read because the generated html and .css used are extremely basic, giving an overly dense page. Are there any markdown-like tools for writing a CTV? Is it possible to apply a custom .css to a CTV? -Michael -- Michael Friendly Email: friendly AT yorku DOT ca Professor, Psychology Dept. & Chair, Quantitative Methods York University Voice: 416 736-2100 x66249 Fax: 416 736-5814 4700 Keele Street Web: http://www.datavis.ca To...

Dear all, Wouldn't it be helpful if the install.views install.packages update.packages had a "downloadonly=TRUE" flag which would allow us to download the packages and install them later (or put them in a USB stick and take them for installation on anothe PC). I am behind a firewall (Bank) and I have serious plroblem updating R or installing views (Finance, Econometrics etc.
