I have created the above directory for contributed R packages that are considered as ``in development''. It is intended as a central marketplace for code that is for various reasons ``unstable'' or ``incomplete'' but might be useful for others. If you want to contribute some code, please include a README file in the tar ball describing the problems etc. I have started

As mentioned earlier I want to decentralize the package descriptions of all contributed packages: Please make sure to include a file called DESCRIPTION in every package which looks like: ********************************************************** Package: e1071 Version: 0.7-3 Author: Compiled by Fritz Leisch <Friedrich.Leisch at ci.tuwien.ac.at>. Description: Miscellaneous functions used

I've put all ``current'' add-on packages into CRAN's source/contrib tree and created an INDEX file (attached below). As you can see, currently we have acepack bootstrap ctest date e1071 fracdiff gee jpn snns splines survival4 (Yes, e1071 and jpn are new ... more on the latter in a later mail.) In the near future, I am hoping for the following: oz (Bill

Following a suggestion by Doug Bates (half a year ago or so ...) I have set up an experimental rsync server for CRAN, i.e., it is now also possible to mirror CRAN using rsync for those who prefer it. The command rsync -rl ftp.tuwien.ac.at::CRAN /destination/dir should copy the complete CRAN ftp area into /destination/dir. Any comments on wether the server works are appreciated. I'm not

Hi, due to some FTP problems in Auckland and me not being in office yesterday R 0.64.2 took some time to travel from Denmark to New Zealand and then back to Europe ... but now it is finally available at the CRAN master site http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/R here in Vienna and it should propagate to the various miroors within the next 24 hours or so. Best, Fritz

Hi, we had a broken heating system (in the floor above us) resulting in a water burst .... my office looks like if a bomb has exploded ... Currently our server is up and running again (it was down over the weekend) ... but we will move out of the devastated rooms and hence the CARN master might be down one or more times during the rest of the week. We'll try to keep the down times as short

Dear R Developers, the following CRAN packages do not cleanly pass R CMD check for quite some time now and did not have any updates since the time given. Several attempts by the CRAN admins to contact the package maintainers had no success. norm, 1.0-9, 2002-05-07, WARN sound, 0.6, 2002-08-31, WARN Bhat, 0.9-07, 2003-11-04, WARN HI, 0.1, 2003-11-04, WARN mmlcr, 1.3.2, 2003-11-15, WARN mvnmle,

A new version of e1071 has been released to CRAN which should be much easier to install on a lot of platforms because reading/writing PNM images has been moved to the pixmap package, hence there are no longer dependencies on external libraries and no configure mechanism. For the authors, Fritz Leisch ********************************************************** Changes in Version 1.2-0: o

Hi all, thanks help by Thomas Lumley (who provided us also with a beautiful logo!) I've finally made a start for an html frontend for CRAN. It should be available on all mirror sites tomorrow. The master site is at http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/R and the usual mirror sites are http://www.stat.unipg.it/pub/stat/statlib/R/CRAN/ (IASC archive, Italy) ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/lang/R/CRAN/

Hi, on suggestion by Robert Gentleman we want to add a ``Other R-related sites'' collection of links to CRAN, where we give pointers to non-CRAN sites that might be of interest to R users. E.g., this could be pages in some language other than English supporting the respective user community or ... If you think your site could appear in such a collection, please send email to me and I

Hi, I just had a very quick look at the StatDataML proposal --- nice work! At the risk of showing my ignorance, I want to mention my first impressions. My first impression is that defining datasets in terms of arrays and list is a bit too high a level. What about simpler vectors, scalars? (I know that R/S don't have scalars, but other systems/applications do.) Can we think of a core

The following packages have been contributed to CRAN by Thomas Lumley: integrate-1.0.tar.gz: S function and supporting C and Fortran code for adaptive quadrature. The underlyling fortran code is purported to work in from 2 to 20 dimensions. S original by Michael Meyer (mikem at andrew.cmu.edu). R port by Thomas Lumley <thomas at biostat.washington.edu>.
