Greetings, I have created several scripts which needs to be packaged. I have done my groundwork on rpmbuild Let us say I have 4 directories with scripts in them dir1, dir2, dir3 and dir4 I want to create different packages which will contain the compiled code (err.. shc) pack1: dir1,dir2 pack2: dir1,dir3 pack3: dir1,dir3 I want the resulting rpm packages will be residing elsewhere (perhaps

Hi Jerry ,hi Sambatsitas, yesterday i installed a brand new ldap smb pdc with latest smb sources ( all suse 9.2 ), and latest ldap scripts from idealx.( orginal source rpm ) All work fine ( as far i testet it ). (Usrmgr was just wow..!) So at last i did a NTConfig.POL with poledit.exe for win xp serv Pack2 on the netlogon share. I used adm modified adm files and a other poledit cause system.adm

Dear list: I would like to override the default way R formats plot axes with a custom method(s). Obviously I would prefer to define it as general as possible avoiding writing a custom method for each individual class where possible. The plot.default method (and I assume other methods as well) calls Axis(...) to produce the axis layout depending on data. In this sense it seems reasonable to

Given S4 methods [ and [<-, how do I write the Rd-file usage clause for the latter one? What I have now is: \S4method{[}{TimeSeries,TimeDate,missing}(x, i, j, ..., drop) \S4method{[<-}{TimeSeries,TimeDate,missing,ANY}(x, i, j, ..., value) which results in the following output: ## S4 method for signature 'TimeSeries, TimeDate, missing': x[i, j, ..., drop]

Dear list: working with date/times I have come across a problem that ISOdate and ISOdatetime are too slow on large vectors of data. I was surprised just until I looked at the implementation and the man page: "ISOdatetime and ISOdate are convenience wrappers for strptime". In other terms, they convert data to character representation first in order to create a POSIXlt object that is then

Hi all: since about a month we encountered a problem with R -e command: spaces in the "command" of R -e "command" are no more tolerated. This same issue affects 2.11 patched (05-05-2010), 2.10.1, and current devel (at least the one of two weeks ago). (I skip the mid of the printouts, replaced with ...) * R -e "message('aaa aaa')" ARGUMENT

Hi, in approximately one months time mentoring institutions can propose projects for the Google Summer of Code 2009, see http://code.google.com/soc/ Last year the R Foundation succesfully participated with 4 projects, see http://www.r-project.org/SoC08/ for details. We want to participate again this year. Our project proposals will be managed by Manuel Eugster (email address in CC). Manuel

Dear list: I am looking for a good way to create an S4 class that would extend numeric, but would allow NULL instead of data as well. As far as I can see there is no way at the moment to do that, but please correct me if I am wrong. The best solution I came up with so far was the following (it also indicates a problem of using setClassUnion with numeric as one of the classes): I define a class

Following my previous post on S3 method despatch, I put debug messages in the code of Axis, Axis.default and plot.default in graphics/R/axis.R and graphics/R/plot.R to print the class of x, at and y on plot. After recompiling R, what I see is that x *lost* its class attribute (at least for classes not known to 'graphics') in Axis, called directly from plot.default and this could be the

I've been looking over system utility functions that we might want to add to R. A few come out of specific needs, others from looking at other systems and what people are using system() for. I've taken account of Paul Gilbert's comments posted here a while ago (and I think covered all except the use of mailers). We currently have date *.socket file.create file.exists file.remove

The behaviour of the plot function when used with xlim/ylim and the matplot function as in the following simple example changed between R2.6.1 and 2.7.0+ producing ugly plots in the new versions. In case of plot it looks like the pretty function is called with wrong arguments (i.e. range of supplied data rather than values of xlim and ylim): m = matrix(c(-0.033, 0.009, 0.064, 0.050, 0.097,

Is there a way to rename a function when importing it? I want to say, "import yourFunc from Foo as myFunc" in the NAMESPACE file. Does this exist and I've missed it? If it doesn't exist, would others think it useful (and possible)? Best, + seth

Hi all, assume the following problem: a function call takes a function object and a data variable and calls this function with this data on a remote host. It uses serialization to pass both the function and the data via a socket connection to a remote host. The problem is that depending on the way we call the same construct, the function may be serialized to include the data, which was not

Hi all: following the previous discussion, it looks like plot(x) with y=NULL still does not work correctly. If one tries for example plot(1:5) it works, but already for plot(runif(100)) it does not. I posted the proposed correction for plot.POSIXct and plot.POSIXlt before. Please voice your opinions whether the following fix for plot.default could be reasonable? I include the full function and

Hello, During a .Call e.g while(TRUE){ value <-rhsqnextKVR(rdr) ## has .Call in this function if(is.null(value)) break; } if I press CTRL-C, R exits straight to the command line. Q: How can I prevent this? I should point out that my library uses JNI, so I'm not sure if that is causing it. I'm using R-2.8 on Linux (RHEL 5) Thank you in advance Regards Saptarshi

Consider the C (or C++) code called from the .Call interface: SEXP foo() { SEXP *p = PROTECT(allocVector(REALSXP, 10)); ... UNPROTECT(1); return p; } Why is there no danger that the allocated memory will be garbage collected after the UNPROTECT, but before the return of p? I have used code like this for some time and have never had a problem, but I'm not sure if/why it is guaranteed

Hi Suppose I have an S4 class "foo" and a validity checking function ".checkfoo()": setClass("foo", representation=representation("numeric")) setValidity("foo" , .checkfoo) is fine; in my application, .checkfoo() verifies that a bunch of necessary conditions are met. But .checkfoo() is very time consuming and I want to give users the option

Add the following to example section of a dot-Rd manpage: ## :WHY: The following kills R CMD check but runs fine on console. foos <- c("aaa", "bbb", "ccc") cat(sapply(foos, function(foo) { sprintf("name: %-18s upper: %s\n", foo, toupper(foo)) }), sep="") R CMD

Hello R-devel, I want to write extensions for R in C (maybe C++ and Fortran later) and it works fine, but there is one problem, which I cannot solve (in my view). I want to handle a matrix from R in C. For arrays there is "as.double(...)", but nothing for a matrix. I searched a while, but didn't find something. Last I looked at the source code of e1071 and of the core itself and

Hello I am writing a replacement method for an S4 class and want to pass an additional argument to "[<-"() along the lines of "["()'s "drop" argument. Specifically, I have an S4 class, call it "foo", with a slot 'x' that is a vector and a slot 'NC' that is a scalar. I want to be able to pass a Boolean argument to the
