similar to: RFC on first public draft of 'Debian R Policy'

Dirk Eddelbuettel and Albrecht Gephardt have created many Debian packages of R packages from CRAN and other archives. I wanted to install all these Debian packages on a machine running the Debian testing distribution. One way to do this is to search (using the apt-cache program) for all Debian package names that begin with 'r-', extract the package name, and concatenate all those names

Hi, apparently you are using the backport of R 3.4.2, which provides r-api-3.4.

Many thanks both. I'll wait for Luke's confirmation to trigger the update with the backported fix.

Btw Dirk, can I help package interflex for apt? Please be welcome to refer me to guidelines/a manual for doing so if you can imagine it happening.

I was delighted I with how fast (faster than a tickled toddler giggles) r2u scarfed packages I. up my Pop!_OS (Ubuntu in party attire tuned for System76). But, despite 40 years as my own sys admin (classic fool for a client?), I bolluxed up, ending up with an install chain that was inferior to compiling from source, despite having to occasionally track down system dependencies. Absolutely no

Do you mind clarifying what you do here? Do you operate Ubuntu when working in R? Or do you somehow operate Ubuntu to manage R packages and dependencies, and then switch back into Debian to carry

Cheers - my response mixes up the order of things: The suggested apt way INSTALLED INTERFLEX nicely. Lesson learned: install dependencies from apt if a package/library isn't in apt search. Yes I also tried install.packages('interflex'). RStudio console complained about the same packages like this: ERROR: dependency 'xyz' is not available for package ''abc" *

Dear Johannes, Dear Dirk, Thanks a lot for helping. Here is the missing information. Here is how I installed R. This is basically how Martin Maechler showed me to install R under Ubuntu (in several versions so that they are also recognized by ESS). My goal is to adjust this to make it work for Debian: 1) sudo emacs /etc/apt/sources.list # then add: deb

The other day I was working on an example which used tempfile() to create file for use by the graphics device. And while I love tempfile()---as it is portable and clever and the files get cleaned by R and all that---I noticed one missing feature I would like to see: beside a starting name pattern, and an optional directory, an 'file extension' argument would be nice to have. As e.g. in

I asked a couple of months ago in r-sig-fedora about a difference I noticed between Ubuntu and RedHat/Fedora. Now I think I've figured out the cause is a little issue in packaging but I don't know how to get it fixed. On Ubuntu, the setup is like this. It i is controlled in a file called Renviron R packages built/distributed in RPM are installed to /usr/lib/R/library. R packages built

The r2u repository [1] has been providing CRAN packages as Ubuntu binaries (with *full* and *complete* dependency resolution) since last May. It is being served from a well-connect Internet2 mirror thanks to the University of Illinois making it *fast*. By relying on the bspm package [2], it can access the 20k binaries (all of CRAN, essentially, and around 240 BioConductor packages for the two
