STI good or bad for my problem?
Hi. I am currently developing a small course system for student and
teachers. The system is divided in sections and sections have many
messages, comments, documents and schedules. Pretty easy to set up
using ROR, just add some belongs_to and has_many relations. But
everything becomes much more complicated when the section items
(message, comment and so on...) all has comments. And they can also be

Lack of final newline in write.dcf changes append usage
The change in r42731 eliminating the final blank line when writing DCF
files changes the way 'append' can be used in 'write.dcf' and I was
wondering if this is intentional. Basically, I want to write a data
frame to DCF format one row at a time, so I make use of repeated calls
to 'write.dcf(append = TRUE)'. However, in R 2.6.0RC the resulting DCF
file is not formatted

tools:: extracting pkg dependencies from DCF
Dear R devs,
I would like to raise a request for a simple helper function.
Utility function to extract package dependencies from DESCRIPTION file.
I do think that tools package is better place, for such a fundamental
functionality, than community packages.
tools pkg seems perfect fit (having already great function write_PACKAGES).
Functionality I am asking for is already in R svn repository

PATCH: Add fields argument to installed.packages and available.packages
Hi all,
The write_PACKAGES function has a 'fields' argument that allows a user
generating a PACKAGES file to specify additional fields to include.
For symmetry, it would be nice for the available.packages function to
be able to read those extra fields when specified.
Similarly, it would be useful for installed.packages to have a
'fields' argument. This would allow a user to

write.dcf/read.dcf cycle converts missing entry to "NA" (PR#9796)
Full_Name: Bill Dunlap
Version: 2.5.0
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 6)
Submission from: (NULL) (24.17.60.30)
If you read a dcf file with read.dcf(file,fields=c("Field",...))
and the file does not contain the desired field "Field",
read.dcf puts a character NA for that entry in its output
matrix. If you then call write.dcf, passing it the output

(PR#9796) write.dcf/read.dcf cycle converts missing entry
BIll,
Thanks.
I am seeing some problems here, for example when all the fields are
missing, or all the fields in a row are missing. I've fixes for those,
and will commit to R-devel shortly.

Package manpage DCF hooks
Was looking at what was output for <pkgname>-package.Rd
and wondered if any there was any means (via macro, etc)
to merge some of the same information with a template
for my package manpage? As much (all?) of the generated
information was already provided in the DESCRIPTION, I'd
prefer not to have to update the information in multiple
places. I'm thinking here that I could provide a

Read.dcf with no newline ending: gzfile drops last line
I don't know if this is a bug per se, but an undesired behavior in
read.dcf. read.dcf takes a file argument and passes it to gzfile if
it's a character:
if (is.character(file)) {
file <- gzfile(file)
on.exit(close(file))
}
This gzfile connection is passed to readLines (line #39):
lines <- readLines(file)
If no newline is at the end of the file, readLines

bug: write.dcf converts hyphen in field name to period
write.dcf(list('my-field' = 1L), tmp <- tempfile())
cat(readLines(tmp))
# my.field: 1
However there's nothing wrong with hyphenated fields per the Debian
standard:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html
And in fact we see them using hyphenated fields there, and indeed read.dcf
handles this just fine:

Bug in read.dcf(all = TRUE)?
Hi,
read.dcf() can modify the locale variable LC_CTYPE, and here is a
minimal example:
> Sys.getlocale('LC_CTYPE')
[1] "en_US.UTF-8"
> read.dcf(textConnection('a: b'), all = TRUE)
a
1 b
> Sys.getlocale('LC_CTYPE')
[1] "C"
After diagnosing the problem, it seems the on.exit() call in
read.dcf() is the culprit:

Thank you Gabriel,
Just for future readers. Below is a base R way to address this common
problem, as instructed by you (+stopifnot to suppress print).
Rscript -e 'stopifnot(file.copy("DESCRIPTION",
file.path(tdir<-tempdir(), "PACKAGES")));

segfault on write.dcf with gzfile connection
I'm seeing a segfault on x86_64 Linux with the following code:
desc = read.dcf("BAD")
con = gzfile("test.gz", "wt")
write.dcf(desc, file=con)
close(con)
where BAD has a long field (see below for example). The crash happens
inside dummy_vfprintf. I think the issue is that the va_list ap is
modified by the first vsnprintf call

I need to know how to solve the above equation for values a, b, c, d.

Functions returning functions
Dear All:
I have a question regarding the behavior of functions.
Say I define a function that returns another function :
A <- function(parameters) {
# calculations w/ parameters returning 'y'
tmpf <- function(x) { # function of 'y' }
return(tmpf)
}
The value of the parameters are stored in an environment local to the
function. Then I call
