Re: [Rd] package incompatibility under 2.5.0 (p lease respond directly, I am not on r-devel)

Unfortunately a claim of 'extensive regression testing' is not going to help you if the original contains the mistake. It seems that your package is not using these functions as they are (and always have been, AFAIK) documented in R or the Blue and White Books. A summary would be that new

I've noticed something recently in R-beta that has changed since R 2.4.1 and I'm not sure if it's a readline problem or an R problem. I am on a Linux FC5 system and in R 2.4.1 I could do load(my-directory/ and then hit TAB and it would list all of the files in 'my-directory', after which I

What did the maintainer of this unmentioned contributed package (hdf5) say when you ask him? [Hint: you *have* read the posting guide at http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html and done as it asks?] There is no evidence here that this is anything to do with R itself. On Fri, 13 Apr

[Rd] help with Qt and event loops

2007-04-13 Thread Deepayan Sarkar
Hi, I have been playing with Qt recently, and have the beginnings of a Qt device. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make it work as an R package yet (I know the device code works because I can use it from a GUI where R is embedded). Trying to package it, I have managed to get it to a stage

[Peter Dalgaard] Er, Brian, I think you are misfiring this time. Firing is always misfiring, at least in that it lacks elegance. There are ways to speak without the heat, or otherwise, to merely stay silent. Yet this particular aspect of things improved a lot, lately, on the various R lists.

[Rd] how to control which version of a package library() installs?

2007-04-13 Thread Tony Plate
library() seems to remember the location of a package when I give it a lib.loc, and then use that version thereafter, even if I don't supply lib.loc again. Is there any way I can load different versions of a package in one R session? -- I don't seem to able to simply detach the package and
