similar to: Wishlist: install.packages to look for the newest version (PR#13853)

Ulrike, if you install from source, you always get the most recent version of the package given it does not depend on a newer version of R. If you want a binary package, you also get the newest version - that was newest at the time we stopped building binaries for that version of R. We (or better I if we only talk about Windows, but similar for all other platforms) cannot build for each R

Full_Name: Ulrike Groemping Version: 2.9.0 (and older) OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (84.190.173.190) When using an older version of R, packages are not found although they are available for newer versions of R and do work when installed with the old version. For example, installing DoE.base on R 2.8.1 installs version 0.2, while CRAN is at version 0.4-1 currently. It would be nice if the

Dear DevelopeRs, I've been struggling with the new regulations regarding modifications to the search path, regarding my Rcmdr plugin package RcmdrPlugin.DoE. John Fox made Rcmdr comply with the new policy by removing the environment RcmdrEnv from the search path. For the time being, he developed an option that allows users to put the environment from Rcmdr (RcmdrEnv) on the search path,

Dear developeRs, I appreciate that boxplot now labels the axes with variable names per default. However, with argument "horizontal=TRUE" (which I always use), the default axis labels are mixed up, as can e.g. be seen with require(boot) boxplot(time ~ poison, poisons, horizontal=TRUE) The correct labels would be obtained by boxplot(time ~ poison, poisons, horizontal=TRUE,

Dear R-developers, the following may seem a weird question for R-devel – I try anyway, because it does seem to be related to usage of R and R's way of interacting with the hardware. When running R (2.4.0) on my new dual core Windows XP system (Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, Mainboard ASUS P5B, BeQuiet Power Unit), I observe various types of sounds (not related to fans) when running at full

Dear developeRs, I encounter the following problem: in the current version of my package FrF2, certain calls to a functioni do not work when package combinat is loaded, because function combn from combinat masks the function from utils that my package uses. I tried to solve this issue by importing function combn into the namespace of FrF2; I don't need to export it, I just want to use it

Dear userRs, Version 2.0 of package relaimpo is on CRAN (and on my homepage with an additional metric for non-US users). It contains several major improvements: - usage of factors - incorporation of interactions (for metric lmg only) - incorporation of observation weights - application to data from complex surveys - processing of multiply imputed data The latter two points are somewhat

Full_Name: Ulrike Gr?mping Version: 2.2.1 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (84.190.139.94) When importing data from SPSS, it is a nice feature of the package foreign that it allows (option use.value.labels=F) to work with the original SPSS codes while keeping the value labels as information in an attribute. Unfortunately, after merging or subsetting, these attributes disappear. The code

Dear all, I am stuck with tracking down an error I get from R CMD check (Windows, R 2.4.0, same error for R 2.2.1): when running R CMD check over a modified version of package relaimpo, I get the following output in install.out: preparing package relaimpo for lazy loading Loading required package: MASS Loading required package: boot Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error at 2193:

Full_Name: Ulrike Gr?mping Version: 2.2.1 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (84.190.139.94) A wish somehow related to my wish 8658: Package foreign allows to import categorical data from SPSS (and possibly other software) using the original codes, which are often useful for data manipulation, since one can use already available lists of codes from others who don't use R etc. The original

Full_Name: Ulrike Gr?mping Version: 2.3.0 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (84.190.150.205) Whenever any observations are excluded from a regression analysis (lm, glm, and other similar procedures) because of missing values, I would find it very useful if this fact is directly visible from the output. I think that the information should not only be available (I can e.g. look at length of the

No objections from Martin or elsewhere, so I have now committed this. Thanks, Uwe.

We are using rsync to backup files from a bunch of computers to a central server using rsync in --daemon mode. I've got a problem and are looking for suggestions. I'm not a newbie to rsync and have checked the archives without getting any useable conclusions. Our old server works great - a redhat 7.2 / 2.4.18 machine. But it's getting full and there's no more updates for

Dear helpeRs, on my Windows 7 laptop, I have problems getting R CMD check to work. I believe it did work completely before, but I am not sure. Yesterday it almost worked, except for the tests: These were aborted because of a complaint that the temporary directory wasn't available. I played with windows environment variables for the temporary directory, but that didn't solve it.

Dear R-helpers, I am puzzled by the following observation: On my home dual core Windows desktop computer, I am used to running two R sessions in parallel. These do very well in using the full CPU of the computer (half each) and don't seem to slow each other down. Today I have started some large computation effort in one of our university labs, and I intended to go for two R sessions per

Dear R experts, I have defined a class "myclass" and would like the slots to be extractable not only by "@" but also by "$". I now try to write a method for "$" that simply executes the request object at slotname, whenever someone calls object$slotname for any object of class "myclass". I don't manage to find out how I can provide this

Hi Bill, The thing is that is happening here is the specific instance of as.data.frame that is being run, which in this instance switch between as.data.frame.matrix() and as.data.frame.matrix(). I attached the dataframe.R code, which you can find the src/library/base/R folder of the source code. Though if you use data.frame() it will give a more expected result. For instance the first runs

Dear all, I just tried to be fast for once, installed R 2.10 and also newly installed all previously-installed packages. However, now all my help files are text only, which is of course a pity with the new possibilities of links between help pages. What can I do to re-activate chm-help? chm-help does not work for anything, not even base functionality. My system is Windows XP, German locale

Dear expeRts, I am trying to wrap up a package "utilities" (for my internal use). After adding a function datNAtreat that uses mapply, R CMD check gives WARNINGs for "S3 generic/method consistency", "checking replacement functions" and?"checking foreign function calls", all of which are accompanied by the following error message: Error in .try_quietly
