[Rd] Contributors on R-Forge

2011-10-21 Thread Charles Roosen
Hi, I've recently taken over maintenance for the xtable package, and have set it up on R-Forge. At the moment I'm pondering what the best way is to handle submitted patches. Basically, is it better to: 1) Be non-restrictive regarding committer status, let individuals change the code

2011-10-21 Thread Thaler, Thorn, LAUSANNE, Applied Mathematics
Dear all, Today I figured out that there is a neat function called droplevels, which, well, drops unused levels in a data frame. I tried the function with some of my data sets and it turned out that not only the unused levels were dropped but also the contrasts I set via C. I had a look into the

Hi, I'd encourage you to consider using github as the place for development, and sync to r-forge so users can install the devel version by install.packages(..., repos = 'http://r-forge.r-project.org') and r-forge can also do R CMD build/check for you once in a while. The reason to use github is

Hi, I know you mentioned you just set this up on r-forge, but I think using something like github works better in these types of scenarios. The ability for an external entity to clone a repository, change it, provide the patch via a pull request I think is great. You (as the project owner) can

2011-10-21 Thread Hin-Tak Leung
It was as easy as I thought it was half a day ago - here is a patch against R trunk to add cairo support to the Sweave driver, an example Sweave input, and the resulting output. A few more notes: - obviously the documentation needs to be updated... a bit more work to do. - some check to make
