similar to: R-forge, package dependencies

Hi, first, r-forge.r-project.org is filling a need and provides a great service to the community. Please read this thread as sincere feedback for making it even better, not as a complaint. I fully understand that r-forge is ran by limited resources and on a volunteer basis. I'll list some points about r-forge that I think could be improved/clarified. Not expecting anything, just sharing my

Here are some notes/observations I've done on my setup that works for me. Hopefully it will be added to some r-forge documentation/wiki. I use: Windows Vista Business SP2 32bit TortoiseSVN 1.6.7 (Build 18415 - 32 Bit , 2010/01/22 17:55:06) PuTTY v0.60 (with Pageant v0.60) I have a deprecated r-forge project ('r-oo') that I will use through out. My r-forge username is

In building a package, is it possible to make the package depend upon another package that is only available on R-Forge (not CRAN). For example, by doing something in the DESCRIPTION file I'd like to add a dependency to my package such that when the user install my package it will automatically install this other package from R-forge as well. Any help greatly appreciated. Damian

Hi Guys, Recently I wrote a package for dealing with Markov Switching Regressions in R and it is included in the Rmetrics project. https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/rmetrics/ Everything works fine when I use it in computer. But, the package depends on the use of optimization functions from the package Rdonlp2, which is not available on CRAN. So, if I have Rdonlp2 in my laptop (or any

Hello! I have recently found RForge.net (http://www.rforge.net/) by Simon Urbanek and found out today that the site is accepting subscriptions. Great! However, browsing a bit on the site I found a link to another forge: R-Forge (http://r-forge.r-project.org/). Is/will the last one be the "offcial" forge for R packages, given that it has domain r-project.org? Regards, Gregor

Hello, All: ????? What's the status and future plans for R-Forge? ????? I ask primarily because a problem I reported May 15 and 17 via two different channels has yet to be fixed, and it prevents my development versions of the Ecdat and Ecfun packages from building -- because the Windows version cannot find "Matrix";? see below. Secondarily, the version of R that R-Forge

Hello Gregor, Yes, R-Forge.R-project.org will be the official forge for the R Community. But we have to fix a few things before we are going public. If you like you can participate and help us testing. If you have a package or a devel version of your package you're welcome to use SVN provided by R-Forge. For further questions please contact me or R-Forge at R-project.org. Regards,

????? Thanks to Duncan, Lionel and Henrik for their quick replies. I have further questions: ??? ?? ???? 1.? Will GitHub automatically transfer the commits I made to R-Forge in the past couple of days?? R-Forge is now at Rev. 420, and GitHub is still at 418.? Will 419 and 420 be automatically mirrored onto "https://github.com/rforge/ecdat" sometime in the next 24 hours or so?? Is

????? Thanks.? I'm still having problems: ??? ??????? 1.? I went to "github.com" and logged in with my standard GitHub account ??? ??????? 2.? Then I clicked "+" in the upper right, just left of my GitHub ID icon, and selected "Import a repository", as Lionel suggested. ??? ??????? 3.? " Your old repository?s clone URL" =

Re your point 3: Because you have managed to create a GitHub version of your repository that is not a fork of https://github.com/rforge/ecdat, but its own independent repository, contacting GitHub support might not be the right way forward. Note that https://github.com/rforge is simply a read-only mirror of the complete R-Forge repository (and at least to me it is unclear of whether GitHub itself

How reliable is R-Forge? http://r-forge.r-project.org/ It is down now (for me). Reporting "R-Forge Could Not Connect to Database: " I have just started to use it for a project. It has been down for several hours (at least) on different occasions over the last couple of days. Is that common? Will it be more stable soon?

[I'm not sure if this post should go to R-devel, but thought I'd start here for wider readership.] I have a collection of R packages that I maintain using the eclipse/StatET IDE (mainly on Windows) with SVN on the R-Forge system, https://r-forge.r-project.org/users/friendly/ I'd like to consider moving these to git projects on GitHub, but I'm not sure how best to get started.

Hi room, There seems to be a problem with the Windows building machines of R-Forge. All our packages with Fortran source code cannot be compiled for Windows. The error in the log file is make[3]: gfortran: Command not found It seems that gfortran is not installed. Is there any plan to fix this or am I doing something wrong on R-Forge? thanks in advance for your advises. regards, Yohan --

[Env: Win XP] I've just upgraded from R 2.12.2 to R 2.13.1. As part of my upgrade process, I typically install some in-development packages from R-Forge that are not on cran. But for the first time, it doesn't work. e.g., > install.packages("p3d", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") trying URL

After accusing someone of typing 'install.packages("weather")' instead of 'install.packages("webmaps")', I discovered that R-forge really is currently returning the wrong source tarball for packages after 'Repitools' in the alphabet. The data returned from available.package in install.packages goes out of sync at 'Repitools': RemoteREngine
