Dear list, For the maintainer of a given package, is it possible to change the licence of a it from GPL >= 2 to GPL >= 3 ?

Dear list, This is my first time trying to set up the development version of R (R-devel ) in my local machine to test some packages before submitting them to CRAN. I'm using Linux Mint 17.1 64-bit, which is an Ubuntu-based distro. However, I'm not able to correctly set up r-devel, apparently due to a problem with enabling the shared library support. I run the first script given by Dirk

Dear list, I have a question related to the correct interpretation of the relative convergence criterion used by 'optim'. In the help of the function is it written that: "reltol:Relative convergence tolerance. The algorithm stops if it is unable to reduce the value by a factor of reltol * (abs(val) + reltol) at a step." and I was wondering if the previous criterion is

Dear list members, Within a loop, I need to create an xyplot with only a legend, not even with the default external box drawn by lattice. I already managed to remove the axis labels and tick marks, but I couldn't find in the documentation of xyplot how to remove the external box. I would really appreciate any help with this ------------- START ----------- library(lattice) x<-1:100

Hi, I'm confused about my licensing obligation with respect to the Xapian SWIG bindings. I've got a python wrapper that sits above the standard Xapian Python/SWIG bindings, and I wasn't sure if the *intent* of the Xapian team is that my python wrapper - and any code that also uses my wrapper also falls under GPLv2. It seems unclear if the FSF's position on dynamic linking in

Dear List, While trying to define a customised CITATION file for a package, following R-exts, I realised that if I use only one 'citEntry' I got both a text description and a BibTex entry for the package, as for the 'nlme' package: -------------------------- citation('nlme') To cite package 'nlme' in publications use: Jose Pinheiro, Douglas Bates, Saikat

Dear list, I need to change a value within a particular line of a plain text file with characters and numbers, and I haven't found any way of doing this by using R. What I have a is a file that doesn't have tabular data (so, I think that 'read.table' or 'read.delim' are not the right tools for this), but some text, and I now exactly the row that has to be modified and the

Hello, I would like to see Xapian used more widely in the PHP community. The major obstacle is that binaries of the PHP extension cannot be distributed. I've been reading earlier discussions on this and wonder if there's now an option. My starting points were https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/FAQ/PHP%20Bindings%20Package and the discussion at https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/191. One comment

Dear list, For the implementation of a particular optimization algorithm it is very important the random number generator. I would like to know if somebody could tell me what is the random number generator used by default in the 'runif' function. >From the help page of 'runif' and '.Random.seed' I guess that the default algorithm is 'Mersenne-Twister', but I

Dear List, Recently I got the comment that the implementation of the random number generator used by default in R (Mersenne-Twister) could not be "safe" for 64-bits machines, so I decided to put the question here because I do not have expertise in that topic, and because this question could be "too technical for R-help's audience". I apologise if this is not the case.

Hello Jeremy and samba maintainers, I am using Samba 3.0.37 and I am confused about the license. On one hand both the COPYING file in the 3.0.37 tarball and your website indicates that version 3.0.37 is GPLv2. http://news.samba.org/announcements/samba_gplv3/ On the other hand, in the 3.0.37 tarball, there are many files with GPLv3 headers without any exception. For instance, several file in

In an .Rd example for a package, I want to use data from another package, but avoid loading the entire package and avoid errors/warnings if that other package is not available. If I don't care about loading the other package, I can just do: if (require("ElemStatLearn", quietly=TRUE)) { data(prostate) # rest of example } I'd rather just be able to do something like:

Dear R community, I'm running R 32 bits in a 64-bits machine (with 16Gb of Ram) using a PAE kernel, as you can see here: $ uname -a Linux mymachine 2.6.18-238.el5PAE #1 SMP Sun Dec 19 14:42:44 EST 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux When I try to create a large matrix ( Q.obs <- matrix(NA, nrow=6940, ncol=9000) ), I got the following error: > Error: cannot allocate vector of size 238.3

Dear R developers, Due to the increasing use R in hydrology and other close-related environmental sciences, I would like to ask if it would be possible to create a new Special Interest Group mailing list, called 'R-sig-hydro', specially devoted those topics. If possible to do so, I'd offer myself to maintain such mailing list (if needed). Thanks in advance, Mauricio

Dear List, I'm building a package that uses 2 functions of the 'sp' package, and I declared them in my NAMESPACE file as follow: importFrom("sp", proj4string, coordinates) The package is built without any problem, but when I load the package, I get the following message: " Loading required package: sp Note: polygon geometry computations in maptools

I know the standard answer to this kind of question is "get legal advice from a lawyer", but I would like to hear the (hopefully informed) opinion of other people. I would say that, according to the FSF's interpretation of the GPL, any R code using GPL packages can be distributed legally only using GPL-compatible licenses. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfInterpreterIsGPL
