Hi, just a little wish : Could we have one (or maybe more) standardized optional tag(s) for package DESCRIPTION files to cover svn revision info? This would be very useful for bug reporting... I know that any developer is already free to append corresponding lines to DESCRIPTION files to do something of this sort --- e.g. lines like LastChangedDate: {$LastChangedDate: 2009-03-31 $}

Hi, I am new to R and I'm looking to perform some method comparison analysis and would be grateful for some help regarding package installation. There is a package 'MethComp' that I want to use (http://staff.pubhealth.ku.dk/~bxc/MethComp/Courses/Sthm.2007/.) Unfortunately I am unable to install it. I have tried numerous approaches but to no avail. this is the first time I have tried to

Hi, on all my systems update.packages() and install.packages() fails now.

All, I'm running R v2.7.1 on Mac OS X. When I go to the R package installer GUI, I am not prompted to select a repository. The usual screen is there but the columns for package, installed version, and repository version are all populated via blank entries. If I select "Get List" the error below occurs. The same thing occurs if I go form the command line via install.packages.

I cannot access internet through R. My IT-guys told me that I should set the proxy and the port and then everything will be fine. Where can I set them? I use R 2.6.2 under Windows 2000 and these settings are those of the Internet Explorer (no password). I read http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#The-Internet-download-functions-fail_002e but staring R by "C:\Program

I am only reporting this because it is the current release branch and not devel. R-2.13 from svn revision 55957 builds fine, but fails make check. This happened with a fresh svn checkout 12 hours ago and it still happens as of now. Two days ago I could build R-2.13 and it passed make check on the same system, so I doubt it is a system problem. But just in case my system details are a fresh

Dear R-Users, I think I have encountered a potential bug (or at least unwanted behavior), but I'm not sure so I wanted to post here first. Lately I've been encountering an error when running a package I put together. I have my package set up to check for updates when it loads but this error occurs and stops the package from loading: Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for

Hi, I have a MapReduce Java code, which I am calling from R using rJava. I have prepared the R package and tested that successfully. But when I deployed the package in a cluster and executed it, I am getting ClassNotFoundException. If I run the same job directly without integrating with R, it runs perfectly. Here is my R code: library(rJava) muMstSpark <- function(mesosMaster = NULL, input =

I've been looking at littler's code (so this is partly a question to Dirk Eddelbuettel...): > /* We don't require() default packages upon startup; rather, we > * set up delayedAssign's instead. see autoloads(). >
