Vignette problem and CRAN policies
Hello, All:
Professor Ripley is correct as usual: I misunderstood his
original statement of the problem.
He gave two possible solutions. I could not make the first
solution work, and I didn't try the second until someone else on this
list explained it in slightly more detail.
The correction passed R CMD check on my local computer. It has
been "building" on R-Forge since 2013-09-20 19:19:14+02. I hope this
completes soon enough for me to meet Ripley's Sept. 25 deadline for this
correction to "sos".
Thanks again to Prof. Ripley and everyone else who took the time
to read my post.
Spencer

This is nothing to do with CRAN policies (nor R). The issue is that the current upquote.sty does not play with 'ae' fonts as used by default by Sweave. The change is in TeX. And that was what Spencer Graves was informed. On 19/09/2013 04:35, Spencer Graves wrote:
Hello, All:
The vignette with the sos package used "upquote.sty", required
for R Journal when it was published in 2009. Current CRAN policy
disallows "upquote.sty", and I've so far not found a way to pass "R CMD
check" with sos without upquote.sty.
I changed sos.Rnw per an email exchange with Prof. Ripley without
solving the problem; see below. The key error messages (see the results
of "R CMD build" below) appear to be "sos.tex:16: LaTeX Error:
Environment article undefined" and " sos.tex:558: LaTeX Error:
\begin{document} ended by \end{article}." When the article worked, it
had bot \begin{document} and \begin{article}, with matching \end
statements for both. I've tried commenting out either without success.
The current nonworking code is available on R-Forge via anonymous
SVN checkout using "svn checkout
svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/rsitesearch/". Any suggestions
on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Spencer

Dear Prof. Ripley:
What do you recommend I do with the vignette that comes with
that
package?
That vignette is a copy of the article published in the R
Journal
vol. 1/2, Dec. 2009. That publication seemed to require me to use
RJournal.sty. When I removed RJournal.sty from the vignette
subdirectory, "R CMD build" failed. I have no idea what you want
me to
do to fix this problem. Further assistance would be appreciated.
Don't spam all the other addressees!
The issue is using RJournal.sty in a vignette with ae fonts. I am
guessing that
\usepackage[noae]{Sweave}
might work: otherwise you need to remove the reference to upquote.sty
in RJournal.sty.
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
p.s. I understand reasonably well R and the *.Rd documentation
standard, thanks in part to your book on "Modern Applied Statistics
with
S" and the documentation that ships with R. However, this is the only
vignette I've written, and I have not used LaTeX much for anything
else
apart from Ramsay, Hooker and Graves (2009) Functional Data Analysis
with R and Matlab (Springer).

Brian, I am making changes, downloading new version of Sweave.sty and upquote.sty. However, it is not clear to me how to properly credit Fritz Leisch and others for Sweave. Do you mean in the sweave document (*.Rnw)? Or is there a place in the package assembly for this? (it seems not in DESCRIPTION or CITATION, but where else). I could not find anything about this in "Writing R Extensions". Thanks for any guidance, Brian On 9/9/13 12:02 AM, Prof Brian Ripley wrote:
Earlier versions of Sweave.sty and Rd.sty only work with the upquote.sty in earlier versions of R and not that currently being distributed in TeX distributions. R >= 3.0.2 will not contain any version of upquote.sty. In particular, they do not work with the 'ae' fonts which are the default for Sweave vignettes. Packages boolfun calibrate popReconstruct qtlnet have copies in vignettes and now fail. Please remove them. Note too that you did not comply with the CRAN policies on giving credit by including them in your package but not crediting their authors: do check very carefully that there are no other missing credits. Package PSM has vignettes which include upquote.sty. Packages makeR and sos include RJournal.sty which includes upquote.sty: same problem. Please update your package as soon as possible and definitely before the release of 3.0.2 on Sept 25.
