I am trying to get the Rmetrics.org component package fBasics by Diethelm Wuertz into a Debian package. Thanks to a lot of work by Diethelm, it is _almost_ there. It fails 'R CMD check' for me if I do not have the TZ environment variable set [1], yet works fine as long as I set TZ. I figured I could patch this in R/zzz.R and do ## set a timezone if none found in environment

Hi All, This question was brought up some time ago but I never saw a reply so I'd like to bring it up again. When using ROracle package (version 0.5-5), I am unable to run any queries that are greater than 4000 characters in length.

A minor problem ... Since several weeks the "Daily checking results for contributed packages with R-devel" for MacOSX seems to be broken, respectively the "check" file is empty. Please follow the links http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ and http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx//r-devel. Does anybody know, where to find the checking results of R-packages for MacOSX?

Dear R-Users, I'm searching for somebody who can support me or even likes to collaborate with me in setting up an R-package for "constrained maximim log-likelihood" parameter estimation. For example fitting the parameters of a MA(1)-APARCH(1,1) model for a time series of 17'000 points (e.g. the famous Ding-Granger-Engle mode) takes about 10 minutes with the existing
