Hi, I've seen that some packages use .packageName internally to infer their own name. Is that officially supported? I could not find it documented anywhere. There's utils::packageName(), which internally looks for .packageName. However, if the latter is not found, it may return NULL whereas an error would be more appropriate if a package name is expected. Using .packageName would give

Hi, i want to use Puppet to install all packages from a webserver (no repository) . Therefore I wrote following Script: class install_package { case "$operatingsystem" { SLES: { notify {"${operatingsystem} ${operatingsystemrelease} detected":} notify {"Installing $packagename now:":}

Dear R Core Team, I'm wondering whether it is useful that every package should allow for help(PackageName), giving some general information about the package (more/nicer than library(help=PackageName)). This man page may include some mathematical or statistical background, or contain a guideline for the package. Cheers, Martin -- Martin Schlather email:

Background: OS: Linux Mandrake 10.1 release: R 2.1.1 editor: GNU Emacs 21.3.2 front-end: ESS 5.2.3 Colleagues Since I upgraded to R 2.1.1, I am getting a an error message from R CMD INSTALL packagename that says R_HOME ('/usr/local/lib/R') not found. That's not too surprising, since R is now in /usr/lib/R, but what is confusing me is that R CMD INSTALL -l /path/to/library

Hi All, I am encountering the following error while performing check on the R package we built: R CMD check packagename_0.99.0.tar.gz During startup - Warning message: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C" * using R Under development (unstable) (2013-05-14 r62742) * using platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit) * using session charset: ASCII * checking for file

Background: OS: Linux Mandrake 10.1 release: R 2.1.1 editor: GNU Emacs 21.3.2 front-end: ESS 5.2.3 --------------------------------- Colleagues The environment variables checked with Sys.getenv() all appeared to be in the right place. The easy fix was to copy /usr/lib/R into /usr/local/lib/R then run the R CMD INSTALL packagename then just copy the package subdirectory back to

R CMD check --use-valgrind <packagename> used to run valgrind on the tests in the tests directory of the package. But it seems to have stopped. R-2.9.1 doesn't -- at least on my box -- and neither does R-2.10.0 (devel). I am not sure when this stopped. I think 2.8.x did this. The only old R I have around is 2.6.0 and it certainly does. R CMD check --help for 2.9.1 says (among other

Dear all, Is there an elegant way to add citations of packages when using Sweave? Ideally I'd like a function which creates a Bibtex-file with the packagenames as keys. The idea is to use \cite{packagename} or \cite{R} in LaTeX. I know you can get the Bibtex entry with toBibtex(citation("packagename")). But after updating R or a package one needs to update the bib-file too. When trying to automate this I came up with the code below. It generate...

Dear list I am trying installing a package under unix, the command as below works in some case but not some other cases, the primary syndrome is R will stop there with a message: (say I am trying to install the package SASxport) ########################### Warning in install.packages("SASxport", dependencies = TRUE) : argument 'lib' is missing: using

Dear list memmbers, I would like to load a R library from a specified folder with library() and need help on how to call the command. The reason is that I am loading this library on a remote machine where I have no admin rights. Furthermore a library with the same name is already installed on that machine. I have modified this library slightly by modifying the source code and created a

Hello fellow CentOS'ers- I'm trying to install a package from a not-to-be-named repository (privately operated for some proprietary software). They currently have a package I need but offer multiple versions. However, if I simply 'yum install packagename' it defaults to pulling down the most recent package. I would like to pull down the older version of the package but I'm

Hi, in 'Writing R Extensions" of R v2.10.0, under Section 'Cross-references' (2009-09-07) it says: 1. "The markup \link{foo} (usually in the combination \code{\link{foo}}) produces a hyperlink to the help for foo. Here foo is a topic, that is the argument of \alias markup in another Rd file (possibly in another package)." 2. "You can specify a link to a different

I would like to have packages installed either in the early morning or whenever I manually choose to do so on a particular machine. I am trying to convert my existing configuration from cfengine so in that tool I had something like: packages: Hr03|ManualRun:: <package installation commands> This basically says to install packages if it''s either 3:00-3:59am or if

The survival package makes significant use of the "specials" argument of terms(), before calling model.frame; it is part of nearly every modeling function. The reason is that strata argments simply have to be handled differently than other things on the right hand side. Likewise for tt() and cluster(), though those are much less frequent. I now get "bug reports" from the

The help says: "Check R packages from package sources, which can be directories or package 'tar' archives with extension '.tar.gz', '.tar.bz2' or '.tgz'." I just skimmed through the relevant section (1.3.1) in

Gang, I've got to admit, what really sold me on debian was apt-get. And I've been resisting getting up to speed with yum. So, can any of ya point me to a good starter page, maybe one with migrators like me in mind?

Hi all, I have a package that contains a function foo that calls a function .fooInternal via match.fun('.fooInternal'). This step is necessary because I want to give the user an option to override .fooInternal with a custom function. The .fooInternal function name is not exported. The function foo runs perfectly well when used in a normal R session. However, the function fails the R CMD
