Dear R-devel, Recent versions of R CMD check have been flagging apparent S3 methods that are not registered in the NAMESPACE as such. In most situations this is very helpful. However, I have few cases in existing packages where...

Dear R-sig-debian, As of last night, we are running into a build failure when trying to compile the development version of R from the svn repository, Revision: 64090: ./configure && make -j4 distclean && ./configure && make -j4 [lots of normal...

Hi Folks, I've recently transitioned to Debian 8.0 and was having a hard time getting Rmpi to work. I believed I'd successfully installed dependencies via > sudo apt-get install r-cran-rmpi > apt-show-versions r-cran...

Please forgive another comment on this topic. The 'type' argument to tools::write_PACKAGES doesn't currently accept the 'mac.binary.mavericks' value. It seems like it should, to make it possible to pass the same 'type' argument to all...

Dear R-devel I have a function in a package that essentially provides a wrapper for a group of functions in another Suggested package (it sets appropriate defaults for the context, transforms output, etc). I've implemented this by verifying...

Dear R-developers, As part of our package building process, we maintain internal CRAN-like repositories of our packages. This has worked pretty well, but we are running into issues with R 3.1 and OSX mavericks. Specifically, machines with...

Hi R-devl, I'm still unable to force opening an *interactive* non-Rstudio platform-specific plot device on *unix* systems. dev.new() add a new argument 'noRStudioGD' in R 3.1.1. Thank you. It works for me when...

If Martin's proposal for declaring non-S3 methods in NAMESPACE is feasible, it would be very helpful. The packages we support have multiple examples of unfortunately named functions non-S3 functions, so creating a route for migrating them into...

Dear R-devs, I'm working on a package where we have a function that modifies an Object via .Call to a C function. Unfortunately in some situations this counterintuitive modifies a previously made copy of the object passed to...

Dear R-devel, I have a class 'myClass' in R that is essentially a list with pre-specified structure. It has an assignment operator which is going to do some things and then should assign the value using the regular...

Dear R devel, Is libcurl support required to run R.devel, or is it optional? I'm compiling R.devel on an older Debian machine that only has libcurl version 7.21.0 The R news file says " Sun, 25...

Dear R-Devel, Note: I posted a similar message to R-sig-debian yesterday because I assumed it was a Debian issue, received response that it it may be more appropriate for r-devel since it involves building from the...

Dear r-devel-opers, I'm working on a package that does some plot-intensive work using the animation library. It turns out that this performs very badly in the RStudio plot device, which is the preferred IDE for our...

Dear R devel, What is the correct way to write package tests that could possibly fail due to locale collation behavior? Is it safe/proper for me to call Sys.setlocale("LC_COLLATE", "en_US.UTF-8") in each test...

That fixed it for me, r64100 is building cleanly again. thanks! -skye On 10/23/2013 01:37 AM, peter dalgaard wrote: > Affirmative. I was seeing this in 64099, but it disappeared with 64101. (OSX Lion if it matters to...

Dear CRAN devs I've recently run into some testing issues when attempting to release fixes for the ndtv package on CRAN. 1) I have examples in documentation that test the ability of the package to export files, but the...

Dear Uwe, CRAN. We test against R.devel trunk nightly. I just re-ran R CMD check again with R Under development (unstable) (2015-01-31 r67686), and now I just get the message: "Checking URLs requires 'libcurl' support in...

Dear R-devel, Question: How can I get Sweave to recognize that the \thebibliography section is already created and generate the vignette pdf with a single pass? Or is there a way to let R CMD build know that Sweave...

Sorry, should have given more background. x11 works fine on all my systems when called by x11(). I'm the maintainer of a package that uses the animation library, which has performance issues when used with the RStudio plot device...
