Nope just that really, but it could use a little more explanation: when downloading the new packages I found them to be unreliable. That is each time some of the curl calls would fail but it would be different ones. I think that might have to do with my heavily refactored generate-r-packages.R, or with my university internet. It works slower but more reliably from my laptop off campus. Best guess is that either I triggered some kind of limit on concurrent or daily downloads from bioconductor.statistik.tu-dortmund.de, or I was downloading faster than my hard drive could write (such a first world problem!). I partially fixed it by running the script repeatedly.
I'd also like to write something short in the manual/wiki. Embarassingly I haven't figured out how to write/build my own R packages using buildRPackage yet though. It never came up because my current project is a mess of R + python + bash code glued together with makefiles. But any of the pre-hashed R packages can be installed or used in a shell like you'd expect: with import <nixpkgs> {}; stdenv.mkDerivation { buildInputs = with rPackages; [ package1 package2 ... ]; } Jeff On Thu, 18 Jun 2015 14:04:41 +0200 Rok Garbas <r...@garbas.si> wrote: > Quoting Jeffrey David Johnson (2015-06-18 06:20:57) > > Wonderful, thanks for pushing it forward!
