There is a CRAN package licensed just as "GPL", say, XX, I want to use in a book. But I've needed to modify the package to make it do what I need for expository purposes. The package author(s) are amenable to my modifications, but probably unlikely to incorporate them into the CRAN version any time soon. Am I allowed, under GPL, to create a new version of the package, say XX2,

Hello, I'm using optim to program a set of mle regression procedures for non-normal disturbances. This is for teaching and expository purposes only. I've successfully programmed the normal, generalized gamma, gamma, weibull, exponential, and lognormal regression functions. And optim returns reasonable answers for all of these compared with the identical optimization problems in STATA and

Already we have seen several questioners confused by the new features of 2.1.0. Resources which may help: - Read the R-admin manual. It has changed a lot, and covers setting up locales and languages as well as changes to the configure options. Everyone should read chapter 6 (Internationalization), and all those building from source on Unix should read Appendices A and B. - The R-data

Hi R experts I have the following regular expression problem. I am writing a basic corpus retrieval program, i.e. a concordancer/function where a user enters - a set or a directory of text files to search; - a regular expression to search for in these files. I want to provide an output in which the matches of the regular expression are listed in one central column and the neighboring columns

Hi Tim, Have you considered taking your knowledge about writing backends and improve the current documentation? I have made a document which should allow you to get up and running writing documentation extremely quickly and easily; you can find it at <http://llvm.org/docs/SphinxQuickstartTemplate.html>. Any help is greatly appreciated. Even just a slightly more expository coverage of the

Hi, > 1.1) Please verify all above change(s) are OK? or I have modify some code? Parts will almost certainly have to change in future, but if it builds that's an excellent first step. > 1.2) In LLVM, can we proceed our development like as GCC i.e. incremental > approach? In case of yes, please provide me any reference. Incremental is definitely possible. I started out with

Hi all, llvm newbie here. I'm trying to learn porting with llvm for study purpose. This is my first query on llvm mailing list.I have some idea about GCC. I choose 'rx' as a target to port as it is also available in GCC. I have done some initial changes with llvm source code to register target with llvm. I need to verify these changes. Can anyone please take a chance to verify it.

Dear R-Users, given you have been teaching R to students (grad level, mainly social science background, no previous programming experience, 80% know SPSS), what are your experiences concerning the style of teaching? Do you prefer to stand in front of the class like in "normal" lectures and you show them slides? Or do you you explain some concept (for example things like

r-devel and debian-devel readers: Below is a draft for a suggested policy for R packages within Debian. In the six years that we have been maintaining R for Debian, the total number of R related packages has grown to a full thirty -- eleven based on the main tarball released by R Core, as well as nineteen contributed packages -- reflecting the work of five different Debian maintainers.
