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

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, everybody. I've got some Centos Linux systems and some Ubuntu Linux systems. R's basically the same in either place, but the packaging of R for Debian systems seems better to me than it is on Fedora/Redhat/Centos. I joined R-sig-debian and we talk about package management issues there sometimes. One of the really handy R packaging ideas they have is to customize R environment so

I get the error undefined symbol: Rf_rownamesgets when I try to load my package, which include C++ code that calls that function. This is particularly strange since the code also calls Rf_classgets, and it loaded OK with just that. Can anyone tell me what's going on? For the record, I worked around this with the general purpose attribute setting commands and R_RowNamesSymbol. I

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

Full_Name: charles blundell Version: 2.7.0 OS: Debian GNU/Linux Submission from: (NULL) (217.37.73.202) The Debian Policy Manual says concerning lines in a Description field: * Those containing a space, a full stop and some more characters.

I'm having trouble getting correct help output in some circumstances for a package I've created. Though this is not an issue with the current R, I would like my package to work with previous ones as well. I'm looking for suggestions about how I could rework my .Rd file so that it will work with prior R's. In particular, R 2.7 is in the latest stable release of Debian, so I'd

I can't tell from the docs ("Writing R Extensions" 1.9.1) exactly what environment the tests, examples, and vignettes that R CMD check tries to run are in. In particular: 1) how do I get the package loaded? 2) how do I access data in the data/ directory? 3) where is the material in the other directories? (e.g., has inst/ material been installed? where?) Apparently (section 1.3)

I've attached a script I wrote that pulls all the setGeneric definitions out of a set of R files and puts them in a separate file, default allGenerics.R. I thought it might help others who find themselves in a similar situation. The "situation" was that I had to change the order in which files in my package were parsed; the scheme in which the generic definition is in the

I have code and documentation that don't match, but R CMD check didn't flag it. in mspath.R mspath <- function(formula, # formula with observed Markov states ~ observation times (required) qmatrix, # matrix of 1s and 0s with indices of allowed transitions (diagonal is ignored) (required) misc = FALSE, ematrix = NULL, # matrix

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

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.

Dear all. I am using the akima function to produce 3d contour plots using interp based on irregular data. using the eg in the akima manual library("akima") data(akima) plot(y ~ x, data = akima, main = "akima example data") with(akima, text(x, y, formatC(z,dig=2), adj = -0.1)) ## linear interpolation akima.li <- interp(akima$x, akima$y, akima$z) image (akima.li, add=TRUE)

Hi, I'm currently hunting a bug in the akima library, especially in the code behind the interpp.old function (bi-variate linear interpolation). It is based on a triangulation algorithm, interpolation at a given point needs to know the triangle which contains this point, then the interpolation is a straightforward calculation based on the three vertexes. The problem is: Sometimes the triangle

Dear All I hope that someone can help. I am working with sp pakage and akima library("akima") library(sp) imagine lots of different dataframes, of row = 100 columns = 3 of x and y coordinates with z values I will call these data frames for the sake of this example akima akima<-as.list(1:100) producing 100 dataframes dataframes of the form akima[[i]] I then wish to interp this

Dear R users. Recently I wanted to update my R distribution to the current one (R-2.7.1). I am running a Fedora core 8 distirbution. The installation went fine, but when I tried to add some additional packages the majority made an exit with an error. Only a few least demanding (e.g. RColorBrewer) managed to get through the installation process. What happened between the versions 2.6.x and 2.7.x

Dear all, I was wandering what could be wrong with my system (regularly updated Fedora core 8) so that installing packages does not succeed with almost every package. I follow the procedure specified in the help file R-admin section 6.3. This is not a feature new to the current version but happened (to me) in the previous version as well. Additionally R-help html pages try to follow wrong links
