similar to: Version Controlled CRAN Packages

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

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 Rxperts, q <- data.frame(p=rep(c("A","B"),each=10,len=30), a=rep(c(1,2,3),each=10),id=seq(30), b=round(runif(30,10,20)), c=round(runif(30,40,70))) The operation below... tabular(((p=factor(p))*(a=factor(a))+1) ~ (N = 1) + (b + c)* (mean+sd),data=q) yields some rows of NAs and NaN as shown below b c p a N mean sd mean sd A 1 10

Does anyone use "revision control software" to manage their R-code? Any suggestions? Ideally, I'm looking for a, effective yet easy to implement/maintain package. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_revision_control_software --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

good day here, I'm maintaining a couple of R modules, both on r-forge. tests for these modules are written making use of unit testing, and I make use of the svUnit module, part of SciViews-R. I also make use of examples in the .Rd files. my question regards 'R CMD check pkg'. if an _example_ is not run correctly, I get clear feedback on the command line where I run 'R CMD

Hi, I've recently taken over maintenance for the "xtable" package, and have set it up on R-Forge. At the moment I'm pondering what the best way is to handle submitted patches. Basically, is it better to: 1) Be non-restrictive regarding committer status, let individuals change the code with minimal pre-commit review, and figure changes can be reviewed before

Hi, I'm Marianna I'm trying to apply the command "repeat" to my matrix but the repeat process doesn't work as I would. In particular I would like to apply the function robustm () _that I have created_ to my two matrices, if the difference between the two matrices is less than 0.001, R give me back the last matrix. The code thus created allows me to repeat the process only

What's the difference between the packages you get from CRAN and R-Forge? Are the packages you get from CRAN fully developed and R-Forge work-in-progress? Regards, Jason [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

It often happens that I submit a new revision of a package, say mypkg-1.0-10, from R-Forge to CRAN after running R CMD check locally and looking at the log files on R-Forge. But R-Forge has the devel checks disabled, and I get an email from CRAN pointing out some new warning or note I'm asked to correct. OK, I correct this and commit a new rev to R-Forge. But, is it still required to

Recently, I've been working on tools for doing high-quality conversions of project histories from centralized version-control systems like Subversion to modern decentralized systems like git and hg. To see what I mean by "high quality", take a look at my DVCS migration guide: <http://www.catb.org/esr/dvcs-migration-guide.html>. A really good conversion should, for example,

Hello, I submitted a small package, colbycol, to CRAN. I developed it on Linux and tested it on my Linux box and another Windows machine. Besides, other people kindly tested it in their systems. The package seems to "compile" correctly in r-forge for Windows. In fact, you can find the binary package at http://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=426. However, in CRAN, the Windows

Arnaud, my UPS arrived yesterday; thanks for your generosity. I'm using it to power the computer I'm typing on. This moves NUT up a few places on my priority list. In our last email exchange, I believe we agreed on a couple of major points. I want to confirm these before I start modifying the documentation heavily. 1. asciidoc is a good master format for the in-tree documentation. 2.

I'm trying to keep debugging of a development package relatively sane. I see that some packages manage to incorporate what appears to be Subversion (SVN) revision information in the package description; for example, > library(MASS) > sessionInfo()$otherPkgs$MASS$Revision [1] "$Rev: 3016 $" which looks like an auto-generated revision number. On the other hand, the rgl
