similar to: cran2deb for Ubuntu?

Function/file names are hypothetical. Say I have written myfunction.R, which calls myfunction.c via .C("myfunction", ...). I've compiled successfully myfunction.c via R CMD SHLIB myfunction.c in the terminal. Then, in the R console: dyn.load("myfunction.so") source("myfunction.R") test <- myfunction() # works fine So everything is in order, myfunction works

Dear useRs, The FD package is intended for ecologists interested in functional diversity (FD). It measures different functional diversity indices from multiple traits (any type of traits). The first version of FD (1.0-0) is now available on CRAN: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/FD/ The main functions of FD are: dbFD: Compute different multidimensional FD indices gowdis: Gower

Dear All, I am running (X)Ubuntu 9.10 for the amd64 architecture on both my laptop e desktop. I came across the posts http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1336062 http://www.mail-archive.com/r-sig-debian at r-project.org/msg00892.html So it looks like that I will not be able to safely use cran2deb together with Ubuntu, but I simply would like to make sure that this is the way things

Some packages are available in cran2deb and Debian. After adding cran2deb to my sources.list it seems the cran2deb ones are favored because X.Y-ZcranN is "more recent" than X.Y-Z. In the case of r-cran-rmpi the effect of this was to cause aptitude to want to uninstall all my mpi stuff. Apparently the automatically generated package doesn't have mpi as a dependency. I just put a

Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 with cran2deb packages (I know it's meant for Debian, it's worked fine for me for many months). Recently apt-get update has to started to complain: ...

Hi, I am curious what will happen to cran2deb: deb http://debian.cran.r-project.org/cran2deb/debian-amd64 testing/ When Squeeze is released? I really hope this service will continue. It has been great being able to aptitude install R packages. Additionally are these packages signed and is there a key? Chris

What is the relation between the cran2deb repository, http://debian.cran.r-project.org/, and the debian repositories at CRAN, http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/? I've studied the pages and this list, but am unsure I've got it right. My understanding is that cran2deb had almost all packages, targets testing, and currently is only supported for i386. It appears the debian repo at

Dear Michael, I was looking up the status of the cran2deb effort and notice that you now have a PPA where new packages are landing and being built for Ubuntu. It looks like this is still a work in progress, but is already a fantastic resource for me and I hope it is something that you can continue to operate. I'm now installing many of these packages but some things I need are missing.

Announcing cran2deb: 1700+ Debian packages from almost all of CRAN ------------------------------------------------------------------ Last Friday's presentation at UseR! 2009 was the first really public mention of 'cran2deb'. It provides Debian packages of all of CRAN. It started as Charles' project from last year's Google Summer of Code, was further extended by us over the

Dear all Recently I noticed that there are name clashes between the packages proposed in the Debian testing repos and cran2deb. For example, Synaptic proposes to upgrade from xtable 1.5-6-1cran1 (cran2deb, up-to-date CRAN version) to 1.5.5-1 (testing, older version). Is there anything that can be done about these clashes?

Hi All, just to check, is cran2deb available for Karmic Koala (ideally also for a amd_64)? Cheers, Fede -- Federico C. F.

Dear all, I installed the amd64 cran2deb [1] JGR binaries on a fresh Debian testing, and JGR is missbehaving. When JGR starts up, one core of the CPU goes to 100% and stays there, even though I am keeping it idle and not performing any operation. I tried JGR with both sun-java6-jdk and openjdk-6-jdk, debian-liv:/home/liviu# update-alternatives --config java There are 4 choices for the alternative

Hi, I was wondering whether there was plans to support again cran2deb for the amd64 architecture soon. I got updates recently so I was wondering whether amd64 packages were uploaded or if I was only getting architecture independent packages... Thanks for your great work! cran2deb is awesome, looking forward to have it again fully operational again for amd64! Best, A.

After upgrading to R 2.10 and upgrading and testing JGR 1.7, I and other Ubuntu users are getting repeated error messages in JGR that look like this: > Error: could not find function ".getModels" Error: could not find function ".getDataObjects" Error: could not find function ".getOtherObjects" Error: could not find function ".getFunctionsInWS" The

The cran2deb archives target testing. I just pulled a package from them onto a stable system; the library loaded but said > library(akima) Warning message: package 'akima' was built under R version 2.10.0 Are this and other packages likely to work correctly with different R's (2.7 in the case of stable)? How well are they likely to work with a backported R? The R version would

Hi, I would also be in favor of a stronger stance on licenses. In industry, where we can really get in big trouble for violating a license, we often maintain internal repositories, or need to be careful about filtering what is used from CRAN. I think that is should really be a requirement the package authors commit to stating what the restrictions are on their packages. Nicholas On 10

Hi everyone, I am using the backports from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/lucid/ on Lucid and would like to create a bunch of additional r-cran packages on my workstation. Where can I find the latest scripts to automatically create those packages? Is https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/cran2deb/ still up-to-date? Best -Dominique
