* Package name : statdataml Version : 1.0-5 Upstream Author : David Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/ * License : GPL Description : XML based data exchange format for R and Octave This package allows easy exachnge of data between R and Octave programs through XML files using the StatDataML DTD. It is as easy to use as this: $ R > library ('StatDataML') > x <- c (1,5,7) > writeSDML (x, "foo.xml") > q() $ octave > x = readsdml ("foo.xml") x = 1 5 7 And vice-versa. I packaged it already and it is accessable in the following apt-getable repository: deb http://people.debian.org/~rafael/R ./ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~rafael/R ./ Notice, please, that this is an experimental repository and this work is *very* preliminary. In particular, the package pollutes severily the octave namespace by adding *.m with trivial names in the LOADPATH. The upstream author has been already contacted and is working on this issue for a new release, which will include also better support for new Octave data types (list and cell arrays). The statdataml package (btw, suggestions for a better name are welcome) depends on another package not yet in Debian (r-xml) which is also present in the apt-getable repository mentioned above. This package adds the XML module for R available at CRAN (it will be the subject of another IRTP soon). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux laboiss0 2.4.19-686 #1 Mon Nov 18 23:59:03 EST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US
