similar to: cran2deb amd64 support

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: ... Hit http://debian.cran.r-project.org testing/ Release Get:1 http://debian.cran.r-project.org testing/ Packages [515kB] Fetched 1B in 3s (0B/s) W: Failed to fetch

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

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 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

Dear All, I used cran2deb in the past quite happily. I am now running debian squeeze on one of my machines (amd64 architecture) and planning to stick to it even after it is released as the new stable. I now read at http://debian.cran.r-project.org/ that the amd64 architecture is not supported right know. Now, seen that cran2deb has always been extremely convenient to me, I would like to know

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

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?

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.

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

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else (didn't see it), but is cran2deb fully compatible with Ubuntu? Novice question: I use install.packages() within R. The pros of using sudo apt-get instead seem obvious, but are there any cons I should know about?

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

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

Dear developers I am unable to (properly) load JGR on Debian testing. The JGR window will pop out and R will start up, but it will not perform any of the JGR specific library() calls (rJava, JavaGD, etc.) and will stuck at 100% CPU while the prompt will be non-responsive. The hack that helped previously in such cases, accessing Help > About [1], works no more. All R packages are installed via

Hi. First, I would like to thank all the contributors to this project for their efforts. Given that we primarily use Debian and R as our computing platform, having access to these backports has been very beneficial. I have been looking in the last couple of days for AMD64 lenny backports of the R 2.9.0 packages in lenny-cran. Will these appear in due course or are there issues backporting

I just tried to install r-base on an AMD64 system but got complaints from aptitude that r-base is broken. The reason seems to be that there currently is no AMD64 version of r-base-core on CRAN, only r-base-core_2.11.1-7lucid0_i386.deb. I managed to find a mirror that still had version 2.11.1-5lucid0 which installed without problems.

Hi, Trying to do a fresh install of R 2.7.2 packages on an AMD64 server running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and have run into some problems - version of r-base-core for AMD64 appears to not match version of other packages including r-base and r-recommended and so install fails. The deb packages for r-base-core_2.7.2-1hardy1_amd64 don't appear to have been built yet. Guessing this is an AMD64

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
