I am attempting to build a package on r-forge and running into a weird error. I have been in correspondence with the R-forge admins and am turning to r-devel on the remote chance that someone might have a guess as to what is going wrong or a suggestion about further diagnostics/experiments I could try ... The package seems to build fine on my system(s) with R CMD build --compact-vignettes

I received the following email note re: the vcdExtra package > A vcd update has shown that packages TIMP and vcdExtra are not > declaring their dependence on colorspace/MASS: see > > http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_vcdExtra.html But, I can't see what to do to avoid this, nor understand what has changed in R devel. Sure enough, CRAN now reports errors in

[Env: Win Xp / StatET 2.0 / R 2.15.0] In my heplots package I extended the HE-examples.Rnw vignette under inst/doc. The package passes R CMD check on my machine: * using log directory 'C:/eclipse-3.7/heplots.Rcheck' * using R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30) * using platform: i386-pc-mingw32 (32-bit) ... * checking sizes of PDF files under 'inst/doc' ... OK * checking installed files

Hello all, I wish to learn a version control system for managing my R (data analysis) projects. I know of SVN and github, and wonder if there is any reason for which I should prefer the one over the other (or any other platform). An example for a reason could be if it will make it easier for me to later work with R-forge or CRAN or any other platform for R code distribution. Thanks, Tal

Dear all, I've recently had some issues getting my package to successfully "check". This was on R-Forge, so it's not obvious for me to provide SessionInfo or the likes (if necessary, Stefan can chime in?). After some research (mainly by Stefan Theussler, driving force behind R-Forge), this turned out to be the root cause: On R-Forge, the version of R installed was the

**Please Note: Email below was bounced back (rejected by the Packages email list moderator), so please do not ask me to submit to r-packages@r-project.org<mailto:r-packages@r-project.org>. Members, I recently submitted my first package to the submissions ftp site on CRAN (7.3.09). The package has remained on the server since with no action? Do package review/updates occur monthly? When I

Dear R-Devel subscriber, I would like to raise a topic and ask for your advice, guidance. Today on R-help an issue with a certain package popped up that has been removed from CRAN, because it failed the checks and/or the dependencies are not any longer available. The package maintainer has been alerted to this issue a couple of times and kindly asked to fix the code, such that it fullfills the

I have packages where I know CRAN and other test platforms do not have all the resources to build the vignettes, for example, access to databases. Previously I think putting BuildVignettes: false in the DESCRIPTION file resolved this, by preventing CRAN checks from attempting to run the vignette code. (If it was not this, then there was some other magic I don't understand.) Now, when

Hi all, I'm having a strange error that prevents me from installing new packages, or updating packages after reinstalling. The error message is Warning: unable to move temporary installation ‘C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.2\library\file15045004ac2\sandwich’ to ‘C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.2\library\sandwich’ for one of the packages that is failing to install/update. This error started happening

I've noticed unstable behavior of nlminb on some Linux systems. The problem can be reproduced by compiling R-3.5.2 using gcc-8.2 and running the following snippet: f <- function(x) sum( log(diff(x)^2+.01) + (x[1]-1)^2 ) opt <- nlminb(rep(0, 10), f, lower=-1, upper=3) xhat <- rep(1, 10) abs( opt$objective - f(xhat) ) < 1e-4 ## Must be TRUE The example works perfectly when

I just installed R 2.12.1, and when I went to run a few old programs with it, nothing worked. I got a ton of error messages saying such and such package was built before R 2.10.0 and needed to be reinstalled. These were not just warning messages, but error messages that prevent the programs from running when they were running just fine with R 2.10.1 For some of those packages, such as deSolve, I
