I've been trying to build a bundle with the R-devel snapshot from yesterday. (Yes I know it is unstable and just tell me if I shouldn't be trying to do this yet.) It is failing with the message tar : /dev/rmt/0 : Permission denied It happens after "removing junk files" and just after the message "building dse_2000.9-1.tar.gz" It looks to be coming from the line in

A slightly revised version of my DSE package for multi-variate time series analysis is now available at <www.bank-banque-canada.ca/pgilbert>. This version works with R 0.90.1 (and not with R 90.0 or earlier versions). It can also be installed with install.packages(c("syskern", "tframe", "dse"),

What is the Rd file alias and usage syntax for an S4 assignment method? I have been trying variations on \alias{TSdoc<-,default-method} \usage{ \S4method{TSdoc}{default}(x) <- value but so far I have not got it right according to various codoc, etc, checks.

I've noticed that the arguments and result list of prcomp in the mva package (with 61.1) are not quite the same as in the Blue Book and in Splus. Is this intentional or can I change it? If I change it who should I send the code to? Paul Gilbert -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read

I had a couple of problems getting R 0.90.0. In case anyone has similar problems, I though I would mention them. 1/ I can't use "ftp cvs.r-project.org" from either home or work. The ftp service does not seem to be available. Perhaps this is intended. I only discovered it because I thought the file I got through Netscape might be corrupted. (I don't understand why Netscape

There was at one time some discussion about supporting documentation of multiple functions in one Rd file. Is that supported or still in the plans?

I was hoping fatal: relocation error: symbol not found: pow_ii: referenced in .../dsefor.so would disappear in R 0.6x, but it has not. I believe this is suppose to come from the f2c lib, but I seem to need just a couple of routines: nm -u dsefor.so Undefined symbols from dsefor.so: .umul pow_dd pow_ii pow_ri For my own purposes I could compile with fortran but that makes it much

Below are a few problems I have encountered with the new checks being done in R-devel. 1/ I have two generics, test.equal and test.equal.tframe. The first checks that two objects are equal while the second checks if two objects have equal tframes (time frames). There is no reason these should have similar arguments but the check seems to think that test.equal.tframe is a method for test.equal so

I'm trying to use R CMD Rd2dvi and I end up at a Latex (I think) command prompt. What's missing or what am I suppose to do?

It would be nice to be able to initialize the random-number generator with a single long argument; I can see that in principle this could be done by writing an access method, do_RNGinit (or whatever) for RNG_Init. I had trouble with the technical details, possibly because of long/int incompatibilities. Any chance of this happening? -- Ben Bolker

I have a generic function test.equal <- function(obj1, obj2, ...) UseMethod("test.equal") however, the only argument that specific methods use is "fuzz" so I would like to change this to test.equal <- function(obj1, obj2, fuzz=???) UseMethod("test.equal") The problem is that some methods use slightly different default values for fuzz than others. How should

Something has changed in the S4 default for coercing. Am I now suppose to use setAs, or is there something else I should do to make this work: R version 2.7.0 (2008-04-22) .... > require("methods") > setClassUnion("OptionalPOSIXct", c("POSIXct", "NULL")) [1] "OptionalPOSIXct" > setClass("TSmetax",

I'm trying to do cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.r-project.org:/home/rcvs/src login and I get "authorization failed...rejected access" with the previously advertised password (anoncvs). Has the access been changed or is anyone else having this problem? I'm not very familiar with cvs so I may be making some mistake. Paul Gilbert

o .Platform$OS.type is standardized to be `unix', `mac' or `windows' However, machine() still returns "Unix" rather than "unix". (I'm not sure what it returns on other platforms. Should I be thinking of machine() as standardized already, or is .Platform$OS.type the preferred standard way to check this? Paul Gilbert

When I configure and make R-devel in a directory other than the one where I keep the source, there are a few top level files which are not copied to the build directory. The ones I use are VERSION and date-stamp, to help keep track of what I am testing. Paul Gilbert
