Ah, thank you for that explanation. I somehow didn't catch that my Bugzilla account had been disabled by a human. "Common pattern is to post ... something copied from a generic bug report" - that sounds very annoying.

Unfortunately, the spammers in question appear to be human (of sorts). We're not sure what they're up to, but a common pattern is to post random text, or something copied from a generic bug report (like "able to add 6 item"), later followed by a comment containing a link or a file attachment. Presumably, it is some sort of click-bait scheme, but it could also be a covert

You posted a bug report, but it had no content other than "til". That's what many abusers of the system have done, so you were blocked. I have read the first line of your bug report, and it says " I'm not sure if this is a bug with i3 or R ". If you're not sure if it's a bug or not, then please post to R-devel. That's a moderated list so if this is

Hi all, I ran into a segfault while playing with dates. $ R --no-init-file ... > library(lubridate); d=as.POSIXlt(floor_date(Sys.time(),"year")); d$zone=NULL; d$zone=""; d Attaching package: ?lubridate? The following object is masked from ?package:base?: date Warning message: package ?lubridate? was built under R version 3.4.0

The problem is not specific to this list. Any kind of public list may mean that other subscribers (or even the whole world) can see your email address. So whenever you mail to a (public) list there is a good chance that afterwards, you will get more spam. Not really much can be done about it, at least not on the side of the list, since any of the subscribers may be a spammer, who can know... All

Dear R Devel, I know that someone put this line in src/modules/X11/devX11.c:2824 for a reason, because commenting it out causes R to miss an important ConfigureNotify event in my window manager. The result is that plots are initially drawn off the window borders, unreadable. R_ProcessX11Events((void*) NULL); Unfortunately for me, this line is commented in the standard release of R, it has

I agree that no action should be taken. It's somewhat mystifying that the robot known as "Amy Kristen" responds so quickly after my post, and with such regularity (so far twice per hour), using perhaps several email addresses - and using the correct "Reply-To" headers. But more mystifying is that she keeps the same name the whole time. And lucky, I guess, because otherwise

Thanks Frederick. Mark, if you have any examples to share, they would also be gratefully received.

Hi Peter, Martin, and others, Thanks for your replies. - The bugs apply to all systems that use GNU Readline, not just Linux or Arch Linux. - Readline version 6.3 changed the signal handling so that SIGWINCH is no longer handled automatically by the library. This means it's not currently possible for people using R on e.g. Linux to resize the terminal, or at least when they do so

Hello R devel/help, I ran into this strange behavior: # showstack is supposed to walk through the stack of parent # environments when it is called: showstack = function() { env = environment() for(i in 1:12) { env = do.call(parent.frame, list(), env=env) print(env) } } # a simple chain of functions: g3=function(t) showstack()

Hi The current status is that I am keen for people to contribute some testing code (see https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16951) There were also some getGraphicsEvent() changes/fixes suggested by Richard Bodewits (cc'ed), for which I am also seeking test code.

Hi Just taking a bit more of a look at this today (currently fixated on making sure I can build some good regression tests). The best thing you can do is to keep reminding me like this :) Paul On 09/12/16 11:19, frederik at ofb.net wrote: > Hi Paul, > > Thanks for your efforts.

I agree with Martin's summary of the situation, and with the updated NEWS entry. I'm not familiar with Subversion, can you tell me the command to use? (I tried "svn co https://svn.r-project.org/R/" but it seems to be downloading all branches) Frederick On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 04:30:11PM +0200, Martin Maechler wrote: > >>>>> peter dalgaard <pdalgd at
