similar to: Consider getNamespaceVersion() returning a numeric_version

I mean the `numeric_version` object not a numeric (double/int). Basically to protect me from myself I'd prefer not to have to remember to wrap `getNamespaceVersion()` with `as.package_version()`. I suspect a grep of CRAN may highlight others who are erroneously comparing character objects rather than a comparison between a `numeric_version` object and a character. Tim On 17/10/2024

Dear R devs, I installed the recent devel R to test a package error when I intercept this warning when loading packages: ``` Warning in .make_numeric_version(x, strict, .standard_regexps()$valid_numeric_version) : invalid non-character version specification 'x' (type: double) ``` After a long debugging, I realize that `numeric_version` in base does not support numerical input x by

I've noticed something in R devel which seems a little off and not the behavior I see in 4.4.0 or earlier versions. With numeric_versions that have long (>8 digit) final components max and min return the first element and not the max or min: In devel: > max(numeric_version(c("1.0.1.100000000", "1.0.3.100000000", "1.0.2.100000000"))) [1] ?1.0.1.100000000?

Can anyone explain what I'm missing here? max(pp1 <- package_version(c("0.99999911.3","1.0.4","1.0.5"))) ## [1] ?1.0.4? max(pp2 <- package_version(c("1.0.3","1.0.4","1.0.5"))) ## [1] ?1.0.5? I've looked at ?package_version , to no avail. Since max() goes to .Primitive("max") I'm having trouble figuring out

Hi I'm still exploring the R programming universe, so if this is being asked in the wrong place, or in the wrong way (e.g. too verbose or lacking in crucial detail or in the wrong format) please let me know I am trying to understand when the version constraints for packages which appear in the Imports field of a DESCRIPTION file are checked. Along the way I've hit a snag

Hi Everybody, I am having a problem with loading Biobase package. I typed 2 lines below at R prompt > source ("http://boconductor.org/biocLite.R") > biocLite (lib="/usr/local/lib/R/library") which attempted to install a bunch of packages with varying degree of success. Out of 29, 13 failed. Biobase is one of them. As a matter of fact, when I looked at logs, most

Many thanks Duncan for the quick response. A bug is a relief in a way. I've been digging my way deeper into this (and learning more as I go) for several days now - but it is a diversion from (a diversion from) my main goal :-( Is there somewhere specific I should report or log the bug or will that happen from this mailing-list automatically? (I have seen the Bug Tracking link on the

I am seeing very strange behaviour in R 3.2.0 patched (r68272) and a new build of R-devel. The sessioninfo() from the former is below. Here's what I see: If I set the locale, and trigger a namespace load, a version comparison gives NA, and I get an error. For example, in a new session started with R --vanilla from the terminal: > Sys.setlocale(locale='en_US.UTF-8');grid::gpar()

Hi Duncan The difference is that in your call to loadNamespace, the versionCheck list has 3 components (name, op and version), whereas the documentation only mentions 2 (op and version). loadNamespace 'works' for me provided I add a third component to the list (even a nonsense one). What I haven't yet had the fortitude to do is track down through the code to see what the arguments

Hello all, I've developed a prototype package called PopCon (short for popularity contest), a package for tracking the popularity of R and its packages. I'd like this work to be similar in spirit to the Debian package popularity-contest: http://popcon.debian.org/. Once Popcon is loaded, it captures two kinds of information from the user and stores it into a cache: the names of the

Running strptime against all dates from around 1946, only 5/3/1992 was converted as "NA". Even stranger, it still seems to have a value associated with it (even though is.na thinks

Hi Kurt, Is it intended that numeric_version() returns an error by default on non-character input in R 4.4.0? It seems that I can turn this into a warning by setting _R_CHECK_STOP_ON_INVALID_NUMERIC_VERSION_INPUTS_=false but I don't seem to be able to find any of this mentioned in the NEWS file. Thanks, H.
