OK. It is sort of fixed and sort of works. We'll keep it for now, but this is not going to work forever. When namazu fails completely I will not have the time to install a new search engine. One option is to use google. For a site like this, I think they will want some money, but I'm not sure, and I do not have the time to deal with it. We have over 10,000 packages now. I wonder if

Spencer, Thanks for the quick reply. I am open to someone who knows Perl getting an account on my site and trying to get it working. It will probably involve fixing more than one thing, as mknmz depends on some perl modules that also generate errors. My main contribution is figuring out how to extract the html help files and vignettes only, with some help from R developers and Fedora

Unfortunately, I am unable to get this search site working again. (The message below explains why I had to rebuild it.) The computer worked for the better part of a day downloading and installing all the help files from all CRAN packages. Somehow it failed to get the vignettes this time. But I pushed ahead and ran the part of namazu that makes the search indices: mknmz. And you can see the

Don't do anything yet. I may have found the problem by accident. I tried to use the computer from something else, and it was being drastically slowed down by some leftover processes, which turned out to be xlhtml. That is something that converts Excel files. Apparently, some excel files got into the libraries, and they were causing the indexing to hang completely. I am now running everything

Hello, All: Jonathan Baron is "giving up" maintaining the RSiteSearch database. This breaks three things: (1) The R Site Search web service that Baron has maintained. (2) The RSiteSearch function in the utils package. (3) The sos package, for which I'm the maintainer and lead author. Might someone else be willing to take these over? For me,

I've made a few changes in the indices in my R search site. http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu is the general URL, and RSiteSearch takes you to http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/search.html, which is equivalent to http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/nmz.html. The main change is that I have eliminated "Previous message" and "Next message" from each page. (I still have "Next in

First, my site will be down December 27-28 because of a network upgrade at Penn. It will also be down at least one day before that, while I upgrade the operating system. (And another day some time in January because of a planned power outage.) Second, I have replaced the search engine in my R site: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ I am now using Namazu instead of HtDig. The direct link to the

I looked at rdocumentation.org. At first I thought it was a superior replacement for namazu, but after I tried a few things I decided that it wasn't. I could not find any documentation about how to search, and the various things I tried seemed to yield very strange responses, e.g., a search for "Hayes mediation bootstrap" gave me mostly functions that had nothing to do with the

This is about my searchable archive. The function RSiteSearch() now searches this archive. I'm considering the following changes. If you have comments, please write me. Try to avoid cc'ing the list. The Rhelp02a directory, which now contains all list mail from 2002 (about 100 MB), is getting larger and larger. This probably cannot go on forever, and performance might even improve if

My search site, http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu, has had several problems recently, all my fault, for which I apologize. But it now seems to be running reliably, on a new computer that is much faster than the old one. It uses htdig to permit search of the Rhelp mailing list, R documents, R functions, and various combinations of these. Search has several options, including Boolean search (with AND,

For my R page at http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ (also the target of RSiteSearch()), I'm trying to find a way to get the html versions of the help pages without actually installing packages. This will allow me to include packages that don't install. And it will also vastly speed up the monthly update, and make it easier to replicate everything in case of disaster. I have made a modified

The search site at http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ is back up. This allows you to search mailing list archives, R functions from most packages, and documents. You can also use the R function RSiteSearch() in R itself, which opens the results in your browser. I'm sorry the site was down for so long. I plan to work out a system that will allow faster restoration if this happens again (mutual

I don't understand the advantages of generating html help dynamically, but I have found some clear disadvantages. One is that I can no longer use a bookmark in my browser to access the list of packages and go from there to individual help pages. The other is that, if I try to use ESS instead (using options(help_type="html") in .Rprofile) - it is a mess. ESS splits the emacs frame

Does anyone know how to read a SYSTAT .syd file on Linux? (Splus 6 does it, but it is easier to find a Windows box with Systat than to download their demo. I'm wondering if there is a better way than either of these options.)

Not to be impatient, but something seems odd. The CRAN repository has nothing for Fedora 9. The RPM of R that comes with Fedora 9 is version 2.6.2. Someone connected with the Fedora project must have built that. R 2.7 is not in the "updates" for Fedora 9, so nobody connected with Fedora has done that. However - and this is the odd thing - the "development" repository of
