similar to: Milestone: 12,000 packages on CRAN

Continuing the tradition to post millennia milestones on CRAN: So, it happened. Today (January 27, 2017 PCT) CRAN reached 10,000 packages [1]. Needless to say, the rate with which new packages are added to CRAN keeps increasing and so does the number of contributors (maintainers). Somewhere out there, there are ~3 persons who are about to submit their first packages to CRAN today and ~3 persons

Hi, Short answer: import 'as.matrix' and export your method(s) for it. From WRE: "All S4 classes to be used outside the package need to be listed in an exportClasses directive. Alternatively, they can be specified using exportClassPattern.(46) in the same style as for exportPattern. To export methods for generics from other packages an exportMethods directive can be used."

Georgi, Brilliant, thank you very much for the helpful reply and explanation! I added 'importFrom("Matrix","as.matrix")' to my NAMESPACE and all worked fine! As my 'as.matrix' method is used entirely internally to the 'testmat' function (and not "used outside the package"), I don't think I actually need to export it. In my case, testmat is

An additional 1000 packages have been added to CRAN. This time, it took less than 6 months. Today (August 22, 2016), the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) [1] reports: ?Currently, the CRAN package repository features 9004 available packages.? The rate with which new packages are added to CRAN is increasing. During 2007-2009 we went from 1000 to 2000 packages in 906 days (1.1 per day) and

The entirety of humanity lives a little better today, because of problems solved using CRAN software. Some of those problems would still await solution, because some of the people involved in developing and disseminating those solutions would not have been as effective or efficient without CRAN and R. We're not just laying brick: We're building a cathedral. Spencer

Another 1000 packages were added to CRAN, which took less than 7 months. Today (February 29, 2017), the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) [1] reports: ?Currently, the CRAN package repository features 8002 available packages.? The rate with which new packages are added to CRAN is increasing. In 2014-2015 we had 1000 packages added to CRAN in 355 days (2.8 per day), the following 1000

Hear! Hear! +100 for the shout out to the CRAN volunteers. Some of the most unsung heroes of the R universe.

Thank you very much, Henrik, for maintaining this list -- it's always a pleasure to see the ever growing number of useful R packages! I decided a few times in the past to extend your research with the list of archived packages, but did not actually start coding -- until tonight: https://gist.github.com/daroczig/3cf06d6db4be2bbe3368 (this includes the a CSV with 9K rows, so might be slow to

Here we go again... Today (2011-11-08) on The Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) [1]: "Currently, the CRAN package repository features 5001 available packages." Going from 4000 to 5000 packages took 14.5 months - that's one new package every 10.5 hours. Behind every package there are real people. These user-contributed packages are maintained by ~2900 people [2] - that's

Another 1000 packages were added to CRAN and this time in less than 12 months. Today (2014-10-29) on The Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) [1]: "Currently, the CRAN package repository features 6000 available packages." Going from 5000 to 6000 packages took 355 days - which means that it's on average was only ~8.5 hours between each new packages added. It is actually even be

Today (2012-08-23) on CRAN [1]: "Currently, the CRAN package repository features 4001 available packages." These packages are maintained by approximately 2350 different folks. Previous milestones: 2011-05-12: 3,000 packages [1] 2009-10-04: 2,000 packages [2] 2007-04-12: 1,000 packages [3] 2004-10-01: 500 packages [4] 2003-04-01: 250 packages [4] [1]

First off, I don't know if this is password caching revisited with a vengeance or what. It's very inconsistent for the amount of time the share will stay mounted. I *think* the following are the relevant messagess in the log: Jun 23 22:24:36 reliant kernel: smb_trans2_request: result=-32, setting invalid Jun 23 22:24:36 reliant kernel: smb_retry: caught signal And of course, I get the

Back in 2010 I raised this issue, and there was some discussion, https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-November/058987.html The goal, then, as now is to have a way to produce a bibtex-clean .bib file (i.e., not requiring manual editing except in unusual circumstances) reflecting installed packages for use in writing where one often needs/wants to cite all packages used in a given

I know this is a basically meaningless milestone, but for some reason it means something to me. For the first time (as far as I know), #puppet on irc.freenode.net has more users than #cfengine: 21 vs. 19. Admittedly, that''s a low user count for #cfengine, but I''ll take it. :) -- Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or

Hello, when trying to write an R-file, which automatically installs and updates a given list of packages, I had two problems with install.packages() 1) install.packages("<package>") will install <package>, no matter if <package> has already been installed. 2) the readline() at the end of install.packages, which asks the user, if the downloaded files should be

Wayne, Rsync 3.0.0 has been under development for 8 months now, but its final release still appears to be a very long way off, and at least one person has expressed interest in having a copy of rsync 3.0.0 to try out ( http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2007-February/017372.html ). I encourage you to make a "milestone" release of rsync 3.0.0 (like the Eclipse people do) and encourage
