similar to: update.packages fails with directory not found

Dear developers, I have a small but more or less well defined inquiry. Another, more general one for which I was not able to find information is towards the end of this messages. The question seems to be too technical for R-help, that is why I post it here. When installing packages (Windows XP), occasionally the installation does not complete because, it seems, Windows locks some files.

Have UI that simplifies running code from another (internal) package, allowing user to set values on fields I basically grabbed from results of calls to formals() for various functions. That works fine for the most part. But it was requested to investigate some type of popup help or something for each field. Since I already wrote the information in the dot-Rd files for what should be displayed,

In reference to the thread http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/04/10/0859.html I have the same problem updating packages with newly-installed version of released version of R 2.0.1. Previous posts refer to a bug in windows. I wonder if there is a work-around? This probably should go to R-help but it follows on from the post in R-devel. Apologies in advance. OS: Windows XP Professional,

Hi, I wonder if the following (apparent) inconsistency is a bug or feature. Since scalars are simply vectors of length one I would think that a and a:a produce the same result. For example, > identical(4.01,4.01:4.01) [1] TRUE However, identical(4,4:4) [1] FALSE and > identical(4.0,4.0:4.0) [1] FALSE A closer look reveals that the colon operator produces objects

While on the topic of Rd macro arguments, it seems that if a multiline argument is supplied, the lines after the first are silently ignored: f <- tempfile() mac6 <- "\\newcommand{\\mac6}{mac6: #1}" cat(mac6, "\\mac6{2*3 2+2 sin(pi) }\n", file = f) rd <- tools::parse_Rd(f) > rd mac6: 2*3 --- Georgi Boshnakov -----Original Message----- From: Tomas Kalibera

Bringing up an old topic on a small technicality. In the help documentation on seq. Value: The result is of 'mode' '"integer"' if 'from' is (numerically equal to an) integer and 'by' is not specified. The arguement in seq specifying length also creates "double" which is not obvious in the wording, as "by" is not specified

Bug or feature? I get the following error from parse_Rd() when a user Rd macro (including system ones) is invoked with empty argument {}, eg \mymacro{}: Error in tools::parse_Rd(fn) : Value of SET_STRING_ELT() must be a 'CHARSXP' not a 'NULL' A full example is further below with the system macro \CRANpkg{}. In this example it doesn't make sense to use empty argument but

> ... reports that the fortran names of all the registered fortran functions are ?undocumented objects?... Those symbols should not be exported. In quantreg v5.33, NAMESPACE has 'exportPattern(".")'. Maybe it is a good time to remove that and export explicitly the symbols that are meant for export. Georgi Boshnakov ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Fri, 28

Hi, The result of as,character() on 'srcref' objects doesn't have the closing ')' in some cases involving 'quote': > e4 <- quote({2+2}) > class(attr(e4, "wholeSrcref")) [1] "srcref" > as.character(attr(e4, "wholeSrcref")) [1] "e4 <- quote({2+2}" As a result printing the object also lacks it and gives an

After library(quantreg), ls("package:quantreg") will list all the names you currently export. So cat(ls("package:quantreg"), sep = ", ") will print the list in a form suitable for including

I'm sorry Martin, but I don't understand your point here. I'm assuming that you want the (S3) matrix, x, to be converted to an (S4) Matrix. However, this is not a

Hi, Function Null from package MASS seems to return a matrix with zero columns and the expected number of rows when the null space of the argument contains only the zero vector, e.g. > library(MASS) > diag(nrow=3) [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 0 0 [2,] 0 1 0 [3,] 0 0 1 > Null(diag(nrow=3)) [1,] [2,] [3,] But the documentation of Null seems to imply that

Recent changes in R-devel seem to change the HTML rendering of text returned by Rd macros, in that now empty lines do not cause paragraphs to end (the empty lines are kept but <p> tags are not set). As a result, multiple paragraphs are output as a single one. A complete example Rd file is at: https://github.com/GeoBosh/reprexes/blob/master/disappearingParagraphs/a.Rd rendered (2018-10-28)

R's checks seem to be failing to notice a redundant '...' argument described in the documentation of a function. Consider a function: fun_3 <- function(arg1, arg2, arg3) { "I am fun_3" } If its documentation describes an argument, say 'dummy', R check reports something like: * checking Rd \usage sections ... WARNING Documented arguments not in \usage in

Hi. The description of na.contiguous says: "Find the longest consecutive stretch of non-missing values in a time series object. (In the event of a tie, the first such stretch.)" But this seems not to be the case if one of the tied longest stretches is at the start of the sequence/series. In the following example, there are three stretches of length 3, so I expect the result

I cloned therneau/survival and the installation failed since there is no definition for exported function survfit(). A file seems to be missing - there is survfit0() and survfit0.R but, compared to CRAN, no survfit.R.

Hi, another Rd related issue I encountered is that if an error occurs in an \Sexpr in an Rd file, then on get the following error: * checking for portable compilation flags in Makevars ... OK * checking for portable use of $(BLAS_LIBS) and $(LAPACK_LIBS) ... OK * checking examples ... ERROR Error in paste(before, x, after, sep = "") : object 'exfile' not found Execution halted
