Dear all, When running function 'testQAReport()', which uses function 'buildVignettes()' to create a pdf-file I get the following error: > source("testQAReport.R") > testQAReport() Error in .get_package_metadata(pkgdir) : Files 'DESCRIPTION' and 'DESCRIPTION.in' are missing. Since I did not get this error in earlier versions of R, could you

Just thought I would mention that the issue below (and in https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2013-April/066318.html) is still not resolved. It hasn't been a big problem, but it potentially could be, if a critical package were to have this error on release day, then all its dependencies would fail to build, which would probably require us to postpone our release. See the complete thread

Hi, Every day a few Bioconductor packages (different ones each day) fail to build, on Windows only, with an error like this: D:\biocbld\bbs-2.13-bioc\meat>D:\biocbld\bbs-2.13-bioc\R\bin\R.exe CMD build --keep-empty-dirs --no-resave-data OrganismDbi [...] Error in find_vignette_product(name, by = "texi2pdf", engine = engine) : Failed to locate the 'texi2pdf' output file (by

I checked after this question popped up on Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44785961/compile-pdf-in-rstudio-works-but-knit2pdf-does-not-work-in-r-or-rstudio On Windows, texi2pdf looks for the texify.exe of Miktex, but looks in a very wrong place: > Sys.which("texify") texify

You reall have only one parameter in your model, c = a/b.

Dear all, For certain reasons I have to compile the source code of my package on Windows XP using Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0, thus I had to create a "Makefile.win". Now I have a question regarding compiler options /MT vs /MD for Makefile.win. The following partial output shows that when building my package on Windows XP using "R CMD build --binary xps" with compiler

Dear all, Since many years the following C++ code does compile on ALL Bioconductor servers (Linux, Windows, Mac) without any warnings: Int_t numsels = 0; //number of selected entries ... for (Int_t i=0; i<size; i++) { numsels = (arrMask[i] == 1) ? ++numsels : numsels; }//for_i Even on the recently added release server 'zin2' Linux (Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS) the

Dear all, On the CRAN website http://cran.r-project.org/ it is currently not possible to get to the packages.

Dear all, When running R CMD check on my Mac (Yosemite 10.10.5) I get suddenly NOTEs and WARNINGs that my tar.gz file does contain hidden files. However, when checking the corresponding directories with 'ls -al' (or with mc) none of these files does exist!! (with exception .BBSoptions). Here is a partial output of 00check.log: * using log directory

Dear all, To make makefiles more portable, it would be useful to have something like R CMD texi2pdf available. It would just call the texi2pdf() function from the tools package. We have a makefile that uses texi2pdf for the vignette in robustbase. With this feature it would work on some more systems. Thanks in advance, Manuel

Dear Simon, Thank you very much for your help, it did solve my problems!! Great! I have googled COPYFILE_DISABLE and found the following site which does explain the issue with tar on Mac OS X, see: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/9665/create-tar-archive-of-a-directory-except-for-hidden-files Instead of doing: $tar czf xps_1.29.2.tar.gz xps I did now: $COPYFILE_DISABLE=1 tar czf

Dear Debian/Ubuntu experts, For the second time users of my BioC package reported problems when trying to compile it on Debian/Ubuntu. The error is always the same: "'wcstombs' was not declared in this scope", see: https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioconductor/2010-February/031739.html https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioconductor/2009-August/029192.html Since I have no

Hi Christian, Chuck (and lists) It seems that the problem may be the strange behaviour of 'unstack' inside a function. See this thread in the R mailing list: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/03/1160.html Anyway, I got round the problem by using 'aggregate' instead of converting to a list and then tapply to sum values of metric. Probably more efficient as well. Thanks

Ah, but I bet you do have that path...try > Sys.which("texify") texify "C:\\PROGRA~2\\MIKTEX~1.9\\miktex\\bin\\texify.exe" > normalizePath(Sys.which("texify")) [1] "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MiKTeX 2.9\\miktex\\bin\\texify.exe" Cheers, Rich Calaway Microsoft R Product Team 24/1341 +1 (425) 4219919

Dear Duncan, In your document "readme.packages.txt" you have a very helpful chapter on "Using Visual C++". Please allow me to ask you one question: Why do you propose the option "/MT" instead of option "/MD"? (To my knowledge usually option "/MD" is used when compiling programs with VC++.) Best regards Christian

Dear all, Since my package is based on S4 classes, I would like to know how to add a slot to an existing S4 class without breaking the code of users of my package. Assume the following S4 class: setClass("MyClass", representation(name = "character", type = "character", data = "data.frame" ), prototype(name =

Hi, in this thread: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2019-July/224365.html Joachim Lindenberg reminded me that he was using smbclient to sync Sysvol. He posted (in the link above) a link to his original post: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2019-July/224346.html Here he posted a copy of his script. I personally would never have thought about using smbclient, but it just goes to
