similar to: New feature for download.packages(): optional resolution of package dependencies

Hi, I am running Debian Sid. I am having trouble with the R packages. Executing 'help()' or 'demo()' launches 'most' with no text. 'help.start()' works properly. When I try to install a package, I get the following problem: ********************************************************************* > install.packages("ctv") Installing package(s) into

Hi R-devels, recently, we have seen a new warning by "R CMD check" appearing for the devel-version of our package distrEx available on r-forge, e.g. as *|install.packages("/distrEx/",repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org")|* Here is the warning: %--------------------- [...snip ...] * checking for unstated dependencies in R code ...

Dear Willem, Personally, I use the R-forge project for the distribution CTV : https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/ctv/ It?s an alternative option to github.

Since I had too much junk cluttering my computer, I recently re-set it back to factory settings, in the process eliminating R. I now have to reload R and packages, and would like to do that via the install.views command. I have successfully downloaded the package "ctv" but R does not recognize install.views. What am I doing wrong? I am using R 2.4.0. Pierre D'Ange. "To

Hello, I am just beginning to use R, after several years of using S-Plus (with mixed success). I saw a recommendation on another mailing list for the Environmetrics and Spatial Task Views, as a good way for a new user to get started actually using R. The Task Views page at CRAN says: "To automatically install these views, the ctv package needs to be installed, e.g., via

Hi all, Sorry if this doesn't end up in the thread. Tobias Verbeke forwarded that e-mail to me, because he thought I would be interested in maintaining the Programming Tools CTV. I wasn't subscribed to R-devel yet, but I would indeed like to volunteer to maintain the Programming Tools CTV. It will be my first time creating a CTV, so some guidance on getting it setup will be appreciated.

Dear R-devels, We have encountered a problem concerning a dead lock in the dependency graph: We have two packages A1 and A2 where A2 extends A1. We have one package vignette for both packages, but which should be included into package A1. So in the "suggests" field of the DESCRIPTION file of A1 we suggest A2 to be able to produce the vignette at build/install time. On the other hand

Folks, I am using R 2.1.1 on Apple OS X 10.3. Earlier, I used to say $ sudo R > update.packages() and all the packages used to get installed. For several weeks, I noticed that nothing has been coming through. I used the R-for-Mac graphics console and I find that there are many packages where new versions have come out which I don't have. Is something wrong with update.packages()? I

I'd strongly second the notion of using github. The biggest advantage is that others can easily contribute changes through pull requests which lifts much of the burden from your shoulders.

CRAN task views are useful, but they seem difficult to write and maintain because the XML format is rather limited (no sectioning) and the <packagelist> must be maintained manually. They are also difficult to read because the generated html and .css used are extremely basic, giving an overly dense page. Are there any markdown-like tools for writing a CTV? Is it possible to apply a

Hi r-devels, we are seeing a new problem with our packages RobAStRDA (just new on CRAN, thanks to Uwe and Kurt!) and RobExtremes (to be submitted). It must be something recent with the way you internally treat/store byte-code compiled functions, as we have no problems with R-3.1.3, but do see an "Error in fct(x) : byte code version mismatch" with R-devel SVNrev r70532. Background:

Dear developeRs, in the last month I mentioned in several discussions on R-help that Kurt and I were working on tools for "CRAN Task Views" which should help to structure the fast-growing list of packages on CRAN. Now the first version of a package called ctv (for CRAN Task Views) is available from CRAN and also two frist drafts for such views can be seen at

Hi R-devels, I noticed that for the scheduled R 2.3.0, there is still no function df() for non-centrality != 0. Easter is quickly approaching, so as my little gift, I would like to offer you some code to fill this gap: After excluding some "unusual" cases, it amounts to differentiating the corresponding function pnf() --- which in turn leads to the function dnbeta() already available

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

Hi, recently R CMD check --as-cran has noticed some more issues with package namespace imports with the recommended remedy to use importFrom() and friends. In my case, there was only a conflict restricted to some few imports, while I would prefer to still import all the non-conflicting objects, methods, and classes of the respective package namespace. So would it be possible to have some new

Thanks, Luke, for having a look to it. Sure, I can give you some reproducible example -- even in two degrees of completeness ;-): see below.
