Hi, trying to install a package containing C code and requiring non-default configure argument settings the incantation (this has worked for R <= 2.8.1 on the same architectures) R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="--with-opt1 --with-opt2" packname does always result in a warning Warning: unknown option '--with-opt2' and consequently the option is ignored. Reverting the order

Hi, after updating R 2.5.0 devel yesterday we today observed many new unexpected failures in our daily package build and test system runs, which can be traced to recent changes in the implementation in try() (as noted in NEWS). Investigating this new implementation I come across an issue in conjuntion with using S4 classes and methods. try(expr) does not return an object with attribute

Hi! I'm puzzled by the return value of ifelse consider x<-integer(0) ifelse(is(x, "character"), paste(x), x) [1] NA whereas if (is(x, "character")) return(paste(x)) else x [1] integer(0) or x<-integer(1) ifelse(is(x, "character"), paste(x), x) [1] 0 work as I had anticipated. Is this correct behaviour? Regards, Matthias >sessionInfo() R

Hi! I am currently testing a setup with dovecot's lda, the cmusieve plugin, pysieved and the avelsieve plugin for squirrelmail. The issue I am stumbling upon is that avelsieve is generating folder names including the namespace prefix when creating "fileinto" rules. E.g.: A rule: If the header "Precedence" contains "bulk", then file it into the folder

Hi! We are running dovecot-imapd on Debian sarge out of the backports.org packages (version 1.0.rc15-1~bpo1). We have ~ 80 clients using secure IMAP. I understand that imap-login has to run for every SSL connection. Thus I already increased the max value for the number of imap-login processes. But unfortunately dovecot is unresponsive from time to time. Where can I tune the installation? Do I

Hi! >getNamespaceExports("base") Error in ls(NULL, all = TRUE) : using 'as.environment(NULL)' is defunct getNamespaceExports function (ns) { ns <- asNamespace(ns) if (isBaseNamespace(ns)) ls(NULL, all = TRUE) else ls(getNamespaceInfo(ns, "exports"), all = TRUE) } <environment: namespace:base> One possible way to fix this could be

Hi, we noticed that since some time after Aug 24th the daily snapshots provided on ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R/ no longer have their default tarball file name but dropped the date stamp, i.e. R-devel_.tar.bz2 Same for R-patched snapshots. Could one of the maintainers please take a look. We rely on the default naming convention for automatic builds. Regards, Matthias --

Hi, I encounter a problem with method dispatch with S4 classes, using the 'sealed' parameter in setClass. See that example below: setClass("X",representation(x="numeric"),sealed=TRUE) setGeneric("foo",function(x) standardGeneric("foo")) setMethod("foo",signature("X"),function(x) print("foo(X)")) x <-

Hi, since a couple of days ago I see failures when using R CMD INSTALL -l lib path-to-src/pkg.tar.gz This occurs in automated library updating via a shell script and is caused by the immediate preceding call to leave an 00LOCK folder even though the package installation of that call succeeded. This occurs at random (no obvious/systematic correlation to package name or or such) and only for

Hi (especially Wayne), ftp.gwdg.de is rsyncing most of the data from about 500 other rsync servers. Especially during the general "high traffic" phases like the release of a new Knoppix ISO or a new SUSE distribution or a new KDE release, I see timeouts with other servers which have maximum traffic at that time. There is a general scheme: 1. rsync is building the data base of the

I'm a database noob, and it really seems like it would be overkill for my setup: I just want to proxy all connections from my DMZ to my internal mail server -- same internal server for all users. I used to use perdition for this set up, but am having issues getting it to play nicely with my new servers. Can I bypass all of the SQL stuff and just have dovecot forward all POP/IMAP

I'm using Dovecot (+postfix) to host some personal imap accounts on a private server (Maildir format). I've got one account that receives mostly automated mails, and I want to be able to purge messages beyond a given date (say 30 days). I know that since maildir uses flat files, I can literally just delete messages doing something similar to the following with bash: for i in $(find

Hi all, I'm a little surprised at > NULL == c("a", "b") logical(0) > all(NULL == c("a", "b")) [1] TRUE Reading the documentation for all() this was not clear for me to be expected. Originally the question came up when using > match.arg(NULL, c("a", "b")) [1] "a" where I had thought an error would occur. So

There appears to be a bug in RUnit. Given a testsuite testsuite.math, say, when I run: runTestSuite(testsuite.math) this works fine, provided there are no extraneous files in the unit test subdirectory. But if there are any Emacs temp files (with names that end with '~') then runTestSuite gets confused and tries to run functions from the temp files as well. [[alternative HTML version

Having used JUnit and PyUnit, I was pleased to see the release of the RUnit package on CRAN. I'm wondering if there are any RUnit users out there that would be willing to share some tips on how they organize their code to work with RUnit. Specifically, I'm wondering about the best way to load/import/source the functions to be tested. I would like to end up with a script, testall or some

Hello R developers, installing R 2.0.0 from source on a Linux Debian system (gcc 3.2.2) - which worked just fine - I encountered the following problem when trying to update/install packages with the option --with-package-versions: example: RUnit 0.4.0 (also on CRAN) R20 CMD INSTALL -l /mnt/local/R/R-2.0.x-libs-EpiR --with-package-versions RUnit_0.4.0.tar.gz or after untaring R20 CMD INSTALL

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for reading up on writing tests in R. I'm writing some functions for inclusion into a package and would like to test them to ensure they're doing what I expect them to do. Are these approaches used for testing packages in CRAN? Cheers, Nathan - -- -

Hi, I wonder whether a package with namespace & dynamic library can be installed with the version number attached, ie. with the argument --with-package-versions. Is this currently possible? Using R 1.9.1 on Debian 3.0 I encounter a problem when trying to load a package installed with R91 CMD INSTALL --with-package-versions -l /mnt/local/R/R-1.9.x-libs-EpiR RIO in R started with R91

I'm working on the next version of coxme, one step of which is converting the bdsmatrix library from Splus to R. Actually, it is a conversion from S4 methods as first described in the Green book to S4 methods as they currently exist. Mostly it's going ok, but not entirely. 1. The biggest issue is lack of documentation. The online help pages have not been a help; they keep saying
