I've been using a cvs2cl.pl (http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl), a nice little perl script to auto-generate GNU-style changelogs from CVS log information. This site also has a proposed XML format for changelogs, and cvs2cl can optionally produce this instead. Finally, they have an XSLT sylesheet that will convert the XML changlong format into an HTML/XHTML page. How about we borrow this tool

I've been having problems building vignettes in bioconductor packages with R-devel. Turns out that Rdevel/share/texmf/hyperref.cfg wants Blue and Red predefined, when only blue and red are defined (as of rsync Rdevel, Sept 10th). This is on a Debian unstable system (Sept 9th version). Might not apply to all other tetex systems. Seems to have bitten the bioconductor build system, though.

rdevel from yesterday, also in 1.9.1 (Debian, -3). The man page of 'hist' (from the graphics package, obtained by "?hist") suggests 'truehist' under "see also", but 'truehist' isn't loaded by default (a sensible "of course"), so that "?truehist" fails. One can do help.search(), of course, which points what to do, but leads to my

Hi All, I would like to use anonymous cvs, but it appears not to be working (again?). There was a discussion back in Jan-Feb about whether to continue supporting it, but it seemed that Tony Rossini got it working and the discussion left off there. Did someone decide to disable it, or is it just not working properly? Here's the details: $ cvs -d

Dear R People: Is there a binary version for rorca, please? Thanks, Laura mailto: lauraholt_983 at hotmail.com R Windows 1.9.0

I'd like to add an "on.exit" flag to "reg.finalizer". Is it possible to check out the source via anon cvs? (If so, which module is preferred for this sort of thing, and which diff flags?) Tim -- Timothy H. Keitt <tkeitt@mail.utexas.edu> University of Texas at Austin

I would appreciate getting a clarification of /usr/lib/R/library vs /usr/local/lib/R/site-library. I am running R 1.8 on Debian Linux. On one occasion doing update.packages() resulted in versions of one or more libraries being placed in one of these directories without removing the old version, and the old version took precedence over the new. I'm sorry I did not save the steps I used. I

In the Lua language they have put the entire source on the net in such a way that you can easily browse it. Go to: http://www.lua.org/source/5.0/ to see what I mean. One of the nice things about R is that if you want more info on a function than in the help page you can just type the name of the function at the R prompt and you get its source, at least if it itself was written in R.

I run R 1.9.0 on windows 2000, and have the following libraries installed: affydata_1.3.1 affy_1.4.23 Biobase_1.4.10 DynDoc_1.3.14 gcrma_1.0.6 hgu133acdf_1.4.3 hgu95av2cdf_1.4.3 hgu95av2probe_1.0 matchprobes_1.0.7 moe430acdf_1.4.3 multcomp_0.4-6 mvtnorm_0.6-6 rae230acdf_1.4.3 reposTools_1.3.29 rgu34acdf_1.4.3 tkWidgets_1.5.1 widgetTools_1.2.7 1. The rma function (in affy library) always crashes.

I'm seeing weird issues in methods initialization, i.e. loading marrayClasses loads Biobase, and when explicitly done, as in library(Biobase) library(marrayClasses) is fine, but when Biobase is loaded via a require statement in marrayClasses' .First.Lib, I end up with: Warning message: In the method signature for function "coerce", class "exprSet" has no

In a quick search of the R website just now, I found no mention of a unit testing framework for R. I hope to find something in the style of Java's JUnit, or Python's unittest. Is such a thing available? Thanks, - Paul Shannon Institute for Systems Biology Seattle

Hi there, We're attempting to run an LVQ analysis over a cluster of machines via R and openMosix. R spawns several child processes simply by writing commands to several files and using system() to start a slave process. The processes migrate perfectly, and often finish with no reported errors, writing their results into respective files for the parent process to piece together.

A student of mine wants to use R to do some nonmetric multidimensional scaling. According to the R FAQ, there's a package called pcurve that computes multidimensional scaling solutions, but I was not able to locate it the contrib page (I am a Windows user with R version 1.4.1). Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to do nonmetric multidimensional scaling with R, and if so, how? John

Is the anonymous CVS repository for R presently broken? There haven't been many updates coming through and the repository files seem to differ significantly from the rsync version of R-devel...

Yes, lots of packages do use C/Fortran code ... it would be great if there were more packages that are "pure R" especially since the advent of S4 classes and namespaces. Is it worth suggesting that we create a designation "pure R" for packages that have no external source code and encourage more of these? Indeed, now the number of packages is so big could they be classified to

Hi to all who suffer from rterm not shutting down in xemacs/ESS on windows NT or 2000. Also hi to those who could eventually help. Here is some more information which could help and some ENCOURAGEMENT to contribute to a solution. 1. It may be an xemacs problem but it is more likely an interaction between rterm/comint/and xemacs. In fact, the problem started occurring around version R 1.6.0. I

Dear R-devel, My current research focuses upon sensitivity analyses which require [1] clusterings of patients in a baseline covariate X-space and [2] examining the distribution of within-cluster treatment differences in outcome. I have generated some primitive R code for this, but I really need to be able to interact with graphical displays of within-cluster information (local average
