I'd be interested to hear views on how and when Ubuntu users should upgrade to R 3.5.0. I made the upgrade a few days ago but reverted because of issues installing packages such as rJava, which I installed on the system with r-cran-rjava. Also any advice on how to do a clean uninstall of the previous version before making the leap greatly appreciated. Thank you. Robin [[alternative HTML

Dear list, I've drafted an article on installing geographic R packages on Linux computers and would appreciate any feedback. Is the following text correct, useful and future-proof?: R?s spatial packages can be installed from source on recent (since Ubuntu 19.04) versions of this popular operating system, once the appropriate repository has been set-up, meaning faster install times (only a

I have recently re-installed R on my Ubuntu system to get R 3.5 and found this to have worked: # you may need to remove incumbent repos e.g. with: sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:marutter/rrutter # add new repos sudo apt-add-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter3.5 # for base R sudo apt-add-repository ppa:marutter/c2d4u4.5 # for pkgs - this saved me lots of time installing my set-up At the end

Many thanks Dirk, kind-of makes sense and I think my 'hold your horses' attitude is probably safest for now. Two follow-up questions: - Roughly how long will it be until "everything has been rebuilt"? - Could this seemingly new project help manage external deps: https://github.com/r-hub/sysreqsdb ?

Dear R user, I am using UK census data on travel to work. The authorities have provided a breakdown in each area by mode (car, bicycle etc.) and distance travelled (0 ? 2 km, 2 ? 5 km etc). Therefore, after processing, the data for Sheffield look like this https://files.one.ubuntu.com/ej2VtVbJTEaelvMRlsocRg : dshef <- read.table("distmodesheff.csv", sep=",", header=TRUE)

Hello R users, My problem is that the data I've got is in the minimum number of columns with each ward (geographic area) appearing multiple times. The first 30 terms look like this > HHum02 CASW Btype Yr CO2Group NumVeh 170597 00CCFA CARS 2002 C 2 170598 00CCFA CARS 2002 D 2 170599 00CCFA CARS 2002 E 22 170600 00CCFA CARS 2002

Thanks for keeping us updated. Before I jump the gun and put this out on social media (as a follow-up to this tweet https://twitter.com/robinlovelace/status/990682038373158912 ), would you say this is a reasonable message to send to the R-using Ubuntu community?: Follow-on advice in case it's of use to any #Ubuntu + #rstats users out > there: wait until Ubuntu 18.04.1 is released before
