[Rcpp-devel] [Pre-ANN] RcppArmadillo 0.7.960.1.0

# 
RcppArmadillo 0.7.960.1.0 has been ready for a few days and sitting at CRAN,
due to a seemingly unlucky combination of travel, weekend,, systems outage
and what not.  But it has been five full days now , and nobody has told me
what if anything is non-standard with the package so ... I give up now.

So it is as of now also in the drat repo for the RcppCore org, so just see
the README.md at
    https://github.com/RcppCore/drat
which has the following example which is applicable:

    # first add the repo
    drat:::add("RcppCore")
    # either install just one or more given packages
    install.packages("RcppArmadillo")
    # or update already installed packages
    update.packages()

You can also add the repo URL by hand to options("repos"), or supply it to
install.packages(), or ...  I happen to like drat.

The files NEWS.Rd and ChangeLog have the goods, I make a fuller announcement
if and when it makes it to CRAN.

This release features a lot of excellent Google Summer of Code work by
Binxiang Ni.  Again, more about that if and when we get to make a true
release announcement.

Dirk:

When checking the reverse depends, we're seeing problems with quanteda,
both with the old version of this as well as the new one published last
night.  E.g.

Package: quanteda [Old version: 0.9.9-65, New version: 0.99]
Check: examples
New result: ERROR
  Running examples in ?quanteda-Ex.R? failed
  The error most likely occurred in:
  
  > base::assign(".ptime", proc.time(), pos = "CheckExEnv")
  > ### Name: textmodel_wordfish
  > ### Title: wordfish text model
  > ### Aliases: textmodel_wordfish
  > 
  > ### ** Examples
  > 
  > textmodel_wordfish(data_dfm_lbgexample, dir = c(1,5))
  Error in wordfishcpp_mt(x, as.integer(dir), 1/(priors^2), tol, disp, dispersion_floor,  : 
    dfmSparse is not supported.
  Calls: textmodel_wordfish -> textmodel_wordfish.dfm -> wordfishcpp_mt -> .Call
  Execution halted

and in fact all problems seem to have the "dfmSparse is not supported."
errors.  Are you seeing these too?  Should we contact the quanteda
maintainer about this?

I have been seeing _fairly consistent_ failures for quanteda with both Rcpp
and RcppArmadillo for quite some time.  You can see more details at the usual
rcpp-logs repo.

As such, I have ignored its most recent failure with RcppArmadillo
0.7.960.1.0. The last (of several) reverse depends logs preceding the upload
has its summary here:
https://github.com/RcppCore/rcpp-logs/blob/master/results/rcpparmadillo/RcppArmadillo-Summary-20170810.txt
As you can see: 372 passed, 3 failed and 2 were skipped by my choice.

On occassion, I dive into packages that fail, ie Rob's "forecast" apparently
only failed for me but not elsewhere.  As it was reproducible, Rob and I
agreed on a change he made.  So it no longer fails for me either.

Similarly, preceding the currently-pending upload of a new BH I have reached
out to two packages one of which was already updated, the other is pending.
But I don't have the bandwidth to chase all failures for all packages, and
some are too persistent. And that is why I uploaded RcppArmadillo last Friday.

Thanks.  So I guess we should publish the new RcppArmadillo and ask the
quanteda maintainer to fix as necessary?

And I'll help. I have not interacted much with Ken, but we have mutual
acquaintances and I am sure we can sort this out "pronto".

And I looked some more, and it seems "weird" as it fails more with
RcppArmadillo than with Rcpp (see below).  But I am sure we will get this
squared away.

Much appreciate the feedback.

Cheers, Dirk

Ok.  New RcppArmadillo on CRAN now.

Should we write to Ken?

Thank you.
 
| Should we write to Ken?

I will do that (and CC CRAN) once I get a chance to look more closely at the
issue, and possibly remedies.
