I have two comments regarding the Posting Guide: (1) The link in the following sentence did not work for me: Take care when you quote other people's comments to respect their rights, e.g., as summarized here[a]. [a] http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/policy/copyright.htm Has it been changed to the following? http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/copyrightissues.html (2) Regarding

Below is an example of output that changed as a result of r64970. I did not see any NEWS item suggesting this change is expected. Note that the example is contrived and I don't have a use case for it. I stumbled across it when playing with recent changes in R relating to duplication. Does the example use undefined syntax? ----- fn1 <- function(mylist) { fn1a <- function()

The following example in ?dump.frames options(error = quote({dump.frames(to.file = TRUE); q()})) is useful for teaching the user how to save a frame dump when R encounters an error during non-interactive sessions. This command however causes an additional change that on encountering an error R exits with a 0 error status. Although it's just an example, it's an important one as it's

Hi, I am using a local patch to have CMD check exit with error if there is a note or warning. Am I missing an already existing way to do this? If not, Is there any interest in having an option or environment variable for this upstream? I would be interested in making a patch. If so, option or environment variable? Any suggestions for the name? Should this be two options or one option with

Rscript eats up the last argument when reporting the command it runs: $ Rscript --verbose "/tmp/test.R" one two three running '/usr/local/lib/R-devel/lib/R/bin/R --slave --no-restore --file=/tmp/test.R --args one two' With the patch below, I get the following: $ Rscript --verbose "/tmp/test.R" one two three running '/usr/local/lib/R-devel/lib/R/bin/R --slave

I don't know if this is a bug. I can reproduce the following on Ubuntu 12.04.2 and 13.04 64-bit with R version 3.0.1 and with r63479. There is no difference if R is patched with the fix for PR#15407 or not, although without the fix there are more ways to trigger this. I can reproduce with the following: 1. Open R in gnome-terminal or xterm 2. Run 'library(tcltk)' 3. Run

Regarding the following extract of ?options: ?editor?: a non-empty string, or a function that is called with a file path as argument. edit.default currently calls the function with three arguments: name, file, and title. For example, running the following vimCmd <- 'vim -c "set ft=r"' vimEdit <- function(file_) system(paste(vimCmd, file_)) options(editor =

tools::md5sum gives a warning if it receives a directory as an argument on Unix but not on Windows. >From what I understand, this happens because in Windows a directory is not treated as a file so fopen returns NULL. Then, NA is returned without a warning. On Unix, a directory is treated as a file so fopen does not return NULL so md5 is run and fails, leading to a warning. This is a good

Attached is a patch with minor suggestions for the R-ints manual at r64048. The most substantial change is the following: The top layer comprises the graphics subsystems. Although there is -provision for 24 subsystems, after 6 years only two exist, `base' and +provision for 24 subsystems, since 2001 only two exist, `base' and `grid'. Is the year 2001 correct? I base it on the date

Attached is a patch with suggestions for the R-lang manual at r64277. Below are a few comments (some are implemented in the patch): In the section "Objects", there is a table introduced by "The following table describes the possible values returned by typeof". One of the results is "any". Can "any" be returned by "typeof()" ? Regarding the

Currently on R I get the following: > file.access(c("doesNotExist", NA)) doesNotExist <NA> -1 0 where 0 means success. Is the 0 correct? I was expecting either NA or -1. ?file.access does not mention how NA values should be handled. The subsection "3.3.4 NA handling" from the R Language Definition manual suggest to me that file.access should return NA if given

As of r65998 I'm getting /usr/bin/install: cannot stat ?/home/scott/rbuilds/r-devel/repo/share/Rd/macros/*?: No such file or directory Commenting out the newly added @for f in $(srcdir)/Rd/macros/*; do \ $(INSTALL_DATA) $${f} "$(DESTDIR)$(rsharedir)/Rd/macros"; \ done in share/Makefile.in fixes compilation for me.

Regarding the following code, warning(sprintf(ngettext(has.errors, "scheduled core %s encountered error in user code, all values of the job will be affected", "scheduled cores %s encountered errors in user code, all values of the jobs will be affected"), paste(has.errors, collapse = ", ")), domain = NA) has.errors is a vector whose elements are the

Hi, I have R installed from the Ubuntu PPA and a local build of R (more details below). I will refer to these as "R" and "R-devel", respectively. I've reproduced the following on Ubuntu 13.10 and 14.04. Below is an example (which requires the bootstrap package) that takes 10 seconds for me to run with R-devel and 5 seconds with R library(bootstrap) str(tooth) theta <-

'tkcoords' is defined twice (in the same way) in src/library/tcltk/R/Tk.R. Attached is a patch against r63780 that removes the duplicate definition and alphabetizes the functions. I've read that minor patches such as this should be sent to r-devel [1]. Scott [1] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.devel/33987 -- Scott Kostyshak Economics PhD Candidate Princeton
