Hello useRs I am trying to build a package for personal use and for making easier working with other people but I keep getting the same error message about the DESCRIPTION file not existing. when trying to install from a source tar.gz file: Error in .read_description(dfile) : file 'C:/Users/Propriétaire/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpHFMONb/R.INSTALL647a3535/mypkg/DESCRIPTION' does not

Greetings - Is it possible, inside .First.lib, to find out the version number of the package that is being loaded? If only one version of the package has been installed, we could scan the DESCRIPTION file, something like .First.lib <- function(lib, pkg) { library.dynam("spatstat", pkg, lib) dfile <- system.file("DESCRIPTION", package="spatstat")

Last week I managed to automatically wrap over 600 C++ classes into R in less than 24 hours. It was not because I am an expert in R programming, it was simply because I wrapped the classes as S3. Not only the wrapping process was easy, but also installation process and loading the final library was fast too. Now I am also trying to do the wrapping into the 'modern' S4 classes. This

Dear all, I really appreciate your help. I think I have a little advancement. ^_^ When I enter the Dos environment, at first, into the D:\>, I type the following code: cd Program Files\R\rw2011\ bin\R CMD install /example "example" is in the d:\, which include the R folder and "DESCRIPTION" file, But I wrote nothing in the "DESCRIPTION" file. Actually, I

Hi all, Packages tools and utils have a lot of useful stuff for R developers. I find one task still not as straightforward as it could. Simply to extract dependencies of a package from DESCRIPTION file (before it is even installed to library). This would be valuable in automation of CI setup in a more meta-data driven way. The simple function below, I know it is short and simple, but having it to

Dear Joris, So it does looks like the proposed function makes a lot sense then, isn't it?

Hi Michael, Are you willing to accept patch for this? I'm already using this and few related functions for a while, it plays well. I could wrap it as patch to utils, or tools?

Hello, I got an error if I try to install a package. For example package emg: R CMD check emg Everything is fine.

Hi, Note that one significant change to read.dcf() that happened since R 3.0.2 is the addition of support for arbitrary long lines (commit 63281), which never worked: dcf <- paste(c("aa: ", rep(letters, length.out=10000)), collapse="") writeLines(dcf, "test.dcf") nchar(read.dcf("test.dcf")) # aa # [1,] 8186 The culprit being line

Hi, just a little wish : Could we have one (or maybe more) standardized optional tag(s) for package DESCRIPTION files to cover svn revision info? This would be very useful for bug reporting... I know that any developer is already free to append corresponding lines to DESCRIPTION files to do something of this sort --- e.g. lines like LastChangedDate: {$LastChangedDate: 2009-03-31 $}

Here's an update: I checked the ChangeLog for R, and it seems like readDCF was changed in 3.0.2. I went on a whim and copied src/main/dcf.c from R 2.15.3 over to 3.2.2, and R compiled fine and install.packages now work for me. This is probably not ideal, but it at least makes R usable on AIX for me. Would definitely like to help figure out what's wrong with the new dcf.c on AIX.

Hi, I am reading a large space-delimited text file into R (41 columns and many rows) and need to do run each row's values through another R object and then write to another text file. So, far using readLines and writeLines seems to be the best bet. I've gotten the data exchange working except each row is read in as one 'chunk', meaning the row has all values between two quotes

Hi I want to create a dependence diagram of a subset of the packages on CRAN and would therefore like to read the DEACRIPTION files into a list. The list should be as follow for each package: - package name: list - Package: character - Version: character - Date: character - ... - Depends: character vector - Suggests: character vector - ... I downloaded all packages and extracted

Dear R-devel, I've made some potential extensions to writeForeignSAS in 'foreign' that I wanted to pass along if anyone is interested. I've attached the diff -u output against the version found in foreign_0.8-15 and an .R file with my changes. (In this .R file, the function is named writeForeignSAS7 to simplify testing/comparisons.) I've tried to alter the current

Greetings; I'm working on translating the heirarchy of R packages into the Gentoo Ebuild environment, currently working from a 2.3.1 install. There are several data which it would be nice to see provided alongside the existing output of available.packages; at the moment I think I'm going to have to get License and SystemRequirements out of individual package DESCRIPTIONs. More generally,
