Hi Lu?s, The parallel package is built-in, and so is not distributed via cran. You'll see the same thing for all the built in packages, e.g.,
pdb[pdb$Package=="stats",]["Package"]
[1] Package <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)
pdb[pdb$Package=="splines",]["Package"]
[1] Package <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)
pdb[pdb$Package=="tools",]["Package"]
[1] Package <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names) --Ista On Wed, May 9, 2018 at 8:23 AM, Lu??s Moreira de Sousa via R-help r-help at r-project.org wrote:
Dear all, I am using the CRAN_package_db function to determine whether the head versions of certain packages match those I need. The parallel package though, is missing from the database:
pdb <- tools:::CRAN_package_db() pdb[pdb$Package=="parallel",]["Package"] [1] Package <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)
Is this a bug that needs to be reported (where?) ? Or is there other reason for this package to be missing from the database? Thank you. -- Lu?s Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
