...es the packaging process [R CMD ***] cause everything to become GPL, as we are using R itself to build the package? I can of course provide the C libs in this case as a separate install, but that adds complexity to the overall build and install process.

Hi all, Is there any chance that readRDS and saveRDS might one day become read.rds and write.rds? That would make them more consistent with the other reading and writing functions.

Hello, I'm trying to access an object, given only its name as a symbol. I cannot figure out how to proceed. Suppose I call substitute( ) on the expression 'x + 2': > parse.tree <- substitute(x + 2); The constituents of parse.tree are of type symbol and numeric: > str(parse.tree[[1]]) symbol + > str(parse.tree[[2]]) symbol x > str(parse.tree[[3]]) num 2 Suppose

Hi, Is there any way that a package can listen for when R quits? The Qt stuff is hooking into platform-specific event loops and when those die unexpectedly (from the perspective of Qt), it aborts, causing an annoying error dialog. If we could catch when R is killed, we could cleanup, like we do with .onUnload. Thanks, Michael [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

R-helpers: What would be the absolute fastest way to make a large "empty" file (e.g. filled with all zeroes) on disk, given a byte size and a given number number of empty values. I know I can use writeBin, but the "object" in this case may be far too large to store in main memory. I'm asking because I'm going to use this file in conjunction with mmap to do parallel

To me it seems like writeBin() writes one char/byte more than expected. > con <- file("testbin", "wb") > writeBin("ttccggaa", con) > close(con) > con <- file("testbin", "rb") > readBin(con, what="character") [1] "ttccggaa" > seek(con, what=NA) [1] 9 > close(con) > con <-

My purpose in mentioning the Julia language (julialang.org) here is not to start a flame war. I find it to be a very interesting development and others who read this list may want to read about it too. It is still very much early days for this language - about the same stage as R was in 1995 or 1996 when only a few people knew about it - but Julia holds much potential. There is a thread about

Hi, Have I missed something, or misunderstood? The r-help posting guide asks users to contact the package maintainer : "If the question relates to a contributed package, e.g., one downloaded from CRAN, try contacting the package maintainer first. [snip] ONLY [only is bold font] send such questions to R-help or R-devel if you get no reply or need further assistance. This applies to both

Dear all, In R-devel (2011-09-23 r57050), I'm running into a serious problem with seek()ing on connections opened with gzfile(). A warning is generated and the file position does not seek to the requested location. It doesn't seem to occur all the time - I tried to create a small example file to illustrate it, but the problem didn't occur. However, it can be seen with a file I use for

Dear useR's, today I stumbled over an interesting phenomenon: First, I created a named numeric vector with a certain class and several attributes via the structure() function. After that, I implemented a simple print method for this class. When calling this function it produces an endless loop of print calls until R crashes. :/ What is going on here? Is this a bug or have I done something

Hello, I am looking for CRAN packages that don't teach bad habits. Can I have suggestions? I don't mean the recommended packages that come with R, I mean the contributed ones. I've been sampling a lot of examples and am surprised that many ignore seemingly agreed-upon principles of R coding. In r-devel, almost everyone seems to support the "functional programming" theme

Hello, This is mostly to developers, but in case I missed something in my literature search, I am sending this to the broader audience. - Are there any plans in the works to make "time" classes a bit more friendly to the rest of the "R" world? I am not suggesting to allow for fancy functions to manipulate times, per se, or to figure out how to properly
