similar to: delay of warning for things in .Rprofile

Dear R-devel, I've noticed that when I place a `NEWS' file in the top-level directory for a package, then do R CMD build mypkg, the file gets included in the .tar.gz file. However, if I do R CMD build --binary mypkg, the `NEWS' file does not get included in the .zip file. Is this intentional? Is there a way I can get such a file included in the pre-compiled package automatically?

dear R user, I al rying to compile an R package with some C code. everithing work fine as long as I work in Linux or MaCOX. unluckyly I can cant compile it under Windows, here is the error, but I cant figure it out what is the problem. can you help me? * using log directory 'C://MyPKG.Rcheck' * using ARGUMENT ' ' __ignored__ R version 2.11.0 (2010-04-22) * using session ARGUMENT

Dear R-Helpers, I'm fiddling with my .Rprofile in Windows XP & R 2.7.0 Beta. I prefer to manually save my workspace but automatically save my command history via the .Rprofile. That is working fine once I found that "utils::" was required before the loadhistory & savehistory functions. What I would like to do is add a separator line with a date between the histories of each

I am running R version 2.8.1 on Windows XP OS. When I launch R, I would like to automatically read a file containing my database connections, user ids, and passwords into my workspace. I tried including this in my Rprofile.site file: ... local({ old <- getOption("defaultPackages") options(defaultPackages = c(old, "Rcmdr","RODBC", "utils")) }) .First

Dear list members (esp. Duncan), I've run into the following curious problem with Version 2.2.0 alpha for Windows: Options in the Profile file in R's etc directory don't appear to be set. (I habitually uncomment options(chmhelp=TRUE), to no effect in this case.) As far as I can see, the only thing non-standard about my installation is that I put R 2.2.0 alpha under c:\R rather than

Hello, as I just spent a (too long) while searching for a way how to persistantly switch back the help display routines from chm to text, here a small documentation how to do that with the windows version of R. The windows installer asks which help type you want to use, I wanted to test the chm version -- which I didn't like. If you after installation want to switch back, you have to edit

Not sure whether this is a feature or bug -- but it does not appear to be documented. R1.6.1 on Windows NT 4.00.1381 Objects assigned in the Rprofile.site file (e.g. foo<-'something') are put into package:base not .GlobalEnv on startup. Objects assigned in the .Rprofile file are put into .GlobalEnv. This doesn't seem consistent to me. The objects exist in base only for the

What is the recommended way to change the default set of packages that are loaded at startup by R for Windows? I am writing vignettes for the Devore6 package which my introductory engineering statistics students will use and I would like to describe how the R environment can be changed so that this package is loaded by default. I understand from the R for Windows FAQ that one way would be to

Hi all, several packages print messages during loading. How do I avoid to see them when the packages are in the defaultPackages? Here is an example. With this in ~/.Rprofile ,----[ ~/.Rprofile ] | old <- getOption("defaultPackages") | options(defaultPackages = c(old, "filehash")) | rm(old) `---- I get as last line when starting R: ,---- | filehash: Simple key-value

Hi, I am a student studying Biostatistics at University. We have been advised to install R and R commander. I managed to do this successfully, except I wasn't able to complete the final step - which would enable both R and R commander to launch when I open the R icon on my desktop. However, I haven't been able to save it and for this to work. The last instructions we were given are:

Dear R-devel, I recall that there used to be a mechanism to get around the requirement that all objects in a package have associated documentation; i.e., a way to specify a list of objects (mostly functions) that are not considered as part of the package API. Is this still available? I cannot find any mention in R-exts. I realize that the way to go is to have a name space, and eventually

[I believe few users manipulate formulae and model frames like this, so I'm posting here instead of R-help.] I just found out that model.frame() includes all terms, including those preceded by "-" in the formula, in its output (as mentioned on its help page). Is there a recommended way of excluding "negative" terms? My guess is that I can use info in the terms attribute

Dear R-help, I've been compiling R from source on our Linux boxes for quite a while. One thing that bugs me is that I always get an error when make check-all where it choked up running tests/internet.R. That wasn't a big deal, as I can run install.packages()/update.packages() fine, and that's all I use the 'net connection for. The problem is that it takes a _long_ time to fail

Also, check the settings of R_HOME and/or R_LIBS.
