similar to: Wishlist: optional svn-revision number tag in package DESCRIPTION file

Hi, Today we've seen the following problem with the R-2.12 that we use for our Windows builds: > installed.packages() Error: subscript out of bounds After some investigation we discovered that the cause of this failure was that 1 of the 890 packages currently installed on the machine (Windows Server 2003 R2) had its DESCRIPTION file empty:

Hi, Say I want to display the subversion release number in the footer of each page in order to track what version of a site I''m looking at. I know subversion has a substitution keyword (LastChangedRevision) that inserts the last known revision in which that file .changed. So, if I stick $LastChangedRevision$ into views/layouts/application.rhtml, it''ll show the last time that

Hi. contrary to other environments, the attributes of a *package* environment are dropped (from the new environment) when attach():ing it to the search() path. This might or might not be surprising, but have some side effects if rearranging/attaching package environments. # Example - Regular environments env <- new.env() attr(env, "foo") <- "bar" print(env) ##

There was a discussion on r-help of getting the output from print.packageInfo into a file. Spencer and I have added a file= argument to print.packageInfo for consideration in R. Had this been available it would have simplified the answer to that thread. If the file= argument is used then the packageInfo information is sent to the file specified rather than displayed using file.show .

Hi everyone, Has anyone written a parser in Java for either the ASCII or binary format produced by save()? I need to parse a single large 2D array that is structured like this: list( "32609_1" = c(-9549.39231289146, -9574.07159324482, ... ), "32610_2" = c(-6369.12526971635, -6403.99620977124, ... ), "32618_2" = c(-2138.29095689061, -2057.9229403233, ... ),

Hi R-devels, would it be possible to enhance either promptPackage() or the default indexing mechanism for packages so that -- if it exists -- (the contents of) file <pkgname>-package.Rd is sorted first in * the .dvi / .pdf documentation file * the .chm documentation file * the package 00index.html documentation file ? So far I found the following "hand-made" solution

Rails 1.2.5 Ruby 1.8.6 Rake 0.7.3 RSpec 1.0.8 PostgreSQL 8.2.5 I am experiencing a problem with the "rake spec spec" task on an initial trial of rspec. After creating the rails app I installed rspec and rspec_on_rails in the vendor\plugins subdirectory from svn. I then used ruby script\generate rspec_model product. I next manually created the database instances depot_development and

Greetings - Is it possible, inside .First.lib, to find out the version number of the package that is being loaded? If only one version of the package has been installed, we could scan the DESCRIPTION file, something like .First.lib <- function(lib, pkg) { library.dynam("spatstat", pkg, lib) dfile <- system.file("DESCRIPTION", package="spatstat")

I am seeing very strange behaviour in R 3.2.0 patched (r68272) and a new build of R-devel. The sessioninfo() from the former is below. Here's what I see: If I set the locale, and trigger a namespace load, a version comparison gives NA, and I get an error. For example, in a new session started with R --vanilla from the terminal: > Sys.setlocale(locale='en_US.UTF-8');grid::gpar()

Dear R-core devs, I hope this email finds you well. Please see the proposed patch to R-devel below: Scenario: When loading a package using `library`, a package may not be found if the cases are not matching: ``` > library(ORG.Hs.eg.db) Error in library(ORG.Hs.eg.db) : there is no package called 'ORG.Hs.eg.db' ``` Suggested Patch: Returns a message matching what

would it be possible to add an option to library that prevents messages except when there are errors? as we build Sweave documents illustrating package functionalities it is sometimes desirable to attach a package "behind the scenes". packages that have messages emitted in .First.lib (often describing version or developer) frustrate this particular desire. verbose=FALSE does not

When I include the macros \packageAuthor, \packageDescription, \packageTitle, \packageMaintainer in a XX-package.Rd file, R CMD Rd2pdf fails with $ R CMD Rd2pdf mpra Hmm ... looks like a package Converting Rd files to LaTeX Error : mpra/man/mpra-package.Rd:6: file './DESCRIPTION' does not exist This does not happen if I comment out 4 occurrences of these 4 macros in mpra-package.Rd.

BIll, Thanks. I am seeing some problems here, for example when all the fields are missing, or all the fields in a row are missing. I've fixes for those, and will commit to R-devel shortly.

Hi R-devels, in "Writing R extensions" as well as in the help to .onAttach(), you mention that one could use this function to issue a start-up message/banner for the package. My little wish for Easter: a 'quietly'-type argument for .onAttach() / .First.lib() which is passed through by functions require() and library() respectively, and by means of which one could optionally
