similar to: version numbers for CRAN submissions that give warnings/notes

There is a CRAN package licensed just as "GPL", say, XX, I want to use in a book. But I've needed to modify the package to make it do what I need for expository purposes. The package author(s) are amenable to my modifications, but probably unlikely to incorporate them into the CRAN version any time soon. Am I allowed, under GPL, to create a new version of the package, say XX2,

[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

It used to be the case that when I submitted a package and it gave notes or warnings in the CRAN checks, I was required to bump the package version before re-submission. I hope this is no longer the case.? I recently submitted a package that gave one fairly trivial NOTE, fixed that, and would like to re-submit. -Michael -- Michael Friendly Email: friendly AT yorku DOT ca Professor,

In checking my vcdExtra package, the following NOTE newly appeared (R-Forge, using R version 3.0.1 Patched (2013-08-20 r63635)) Package in Depends field not imported from: ?gnm? These packages needs to imported from for the case when this namespace is loaded but not attached. In the DESCRIPTION file, I have Depends: R (>= 2.10), vcd, gnm (>= 1.0.3) In NAMESPACE: # we are a vcd

I've just released the latest R-Forge versions of heplots 0.9-3 and candisc 0.5-18 to CRAN. They should appear there within a day or two. == heplots The heplots package provides functions for visualizing hypothesis tests in multivariate linear models (MANOVA, multivariate multiple regression, MANCOVA, etc.). They represent sums-of-squares-and-products matrices for linear hypotheses and for

[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.

I have a print method for a set of statistical tests, vcdExtra::CMHtest, for which I'd like to have more sensible printing of pvalues, as in print.anova(). [Testing this requires the latest version of vcdExtra, from R-Forge **|install.packages("vcdExtra", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")|** ] With my current print method, I get results like this, but all Prob values

Hello, for my small project I would like to organize the data, functions and documentation as a package. I have already created a skeleton directory structure with DESCRIPTION file and put some files in the R, man and data subdirectories. Now I would like to work on the package without calling R CMD build/install after each change. In fact, I do not have the build tools installed yet (I am on

[Env: OS: Win Xp; R 2.15.2; IDE: eclipse/StatET] Each time I update my heplots package, I get warnings from R CMD check on R-Forge, * checking sizes of PDF files under ?inst/doc? ... WARNING ?gs+qpdf? made some significant size reductions: compacted ?HE-examples.pdf? from 739Kb to 366Kb and upon submission to CRAN, a message from maintainers: On CRAN now: but again there were warnings

In the vcdExtra package on R-Forge, I have functions and generic methods for calculating log odds ratios for R x C x strata tables. I'd like to define methods for fitting weighted lm()s to the resulting loddsratio objects, but I'm having problems figuring out how to do this generally. # install.packages("vcdExtra", repos="http://R-Forge.R-Project.org")

[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

I'm trying to write a formula method for canonical correlation analysis, that could be called similarly to lm() for a multivariate response: cancor(cbind(y1,y2,y3) ~ x1+x2+x3+x4, data=, ...) or perhaps more naturally, cancor(cbind(y1,y2,y3) ~ cbind(x1,x2,x3,x4), data=, ...) I've adapted the code from lm() to my case, but in this situation, it doesn't make sense to include an

[Env: R 2.14.2 / Win Xp] In the examples below, I'm using lattice::bwplot to plot boxplots of 4 variables, grouped by a factor 'epoch' which also corresponds to a numeric year. I'd like to modify the plots to position the boxplots according to the numeric value of year, but I can't figure out how to do this. Also, I'd to modify the strip labels that give the variable

I'm looking for guidance or advice about the R license to use in preparing a package containing the Baseball Database from http://baseball1.com/statistics/ My main purpose is to make it available to students in a course, and to develop it with others I'd like to put it on R-Forge, and then perhaps make it public on CRAN. However, the page above bears a very restrictive copyright notice

It is A Good Thing to regularize Authors and Maintainers of packages, particularly for citation() and toBibTex(). Could I add a suggested TODO item for the maintainer of package.skeleton and friends to help reinforce this for new packages: - Please add appropriate templates for Author at R in the skeleton DESCRIPTION file generated, indicating the proper format as well as the use of role= to

CRAN task views are useful, but they seem difficult to write and maintain because the XML format is rather limited (no sectioning) and the <packagelist> must be maintained manually. They are also difficult to read because the generated html and .css used are extremely basic, giving an overly dense page. Are there any markdown-like tools for writing a CTV? Is it possible to apply a

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

A simple question, but I can't find something to do what I want: Given: a vector of numbers, like lambda <- c(0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.08) Desired: format them in minimal space for use as plot labels, ie, without leading or tailing 0s. For this example: lambdaf <- c("0", .005", ".01", ".02", ".04", ".08") -- Michael

Using R 2.13.1, I am now getting the following NOTE when I run R CMD check on my HistData package * checking for unstated dependencies in examples ... NOTE 'library' or 'require' calls not declared from: gplots sp Under R 2.12.x, I didn't get these notes. I have ~ 25 .Rd files in this package, and AFAICS, every example uses library or require for the functions used;

I'm preparing to submit my first package to CRAN, thanks to the help of too many people to mention. I've built and checked the package on Windows ( making a zip) and my path points to the 64 bit version of R. Everything builds and checks and the final warnings have been fixed. My package is pure R with no source from other languages. My questions are as follows. I've read the
