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

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

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

The CRAN submission process seems in need of a massive overhaul. Why has this process not been automated yet? ? Patrick Perry Assistant Professor NYU Stern School of Business

Gabor As someone trying to the rest of my team using Subversion (which I have used for a while, but more as a backup / record of changes), have you a neat / automated way of building a package from a subversion repository?

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

Hello, I have some ideas for packages that I want to provide on R-CRAN. One package alreads is working, but I have some warnings in when compiling. Also I don't know if the libraries in use are only working on Unix/Linux. So I have some general questions: - If I'm not sure if the code would also work on windows (needing some ceratain libraries or tools), would it be better to

Dear R users,I have a long program that I am trying to run--I am using RStudio as my interface with R. The pieces of the program run well individually but when I try to run everything in sequence it bogs down because of a warning after using rollmax from package zoo. Here is the warning: "In rollmax.zoo(zoo(Pmat), 7, na.pad = FALSE, align = "right") : na.pad is deprecated. Use

Hello: Under my Windows 7 system, "R CMD check DiercxkSpline_1.1-5.tar.gz" fails because: f951.exe: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in make: *** [bispev.o] Error 1 gfortran -m64 -O2 -mtune=core2 -c bispev.f -o bispev.o f951.exe: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in make: *** [bispev.o] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package

When I did install.packages("sqldf") on Windows and Mac OSX, it installed fine. However, when I did it on my Debian Squeeze box under R 2.14.0, it failed. I discovered that three of the dependent packages, chron, proto, and gsubfn, do not include a NAMESPACE file in their distribution tar.gz files. I contacted the developer, who told me that, for packages without a NAMESPACE file, R 2.14

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

An additional 1000 packages have been added to CRAN. This time, it took less than 6 months. Today (August 22, 2016), the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) [1] reports: ?Currently, the CRAN package repository features 9004 available packages.? The rate with which new packages are added to CRAN is increasing. During 2007-2009 we went from 1000 to 2000 packages in 906 days (1.1 per day) and
