R-multcomp and a lot of new R packages
by Tom Callaway 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

The R-multcomp maintainer asked me to look into why it was failing to build in rawhide. When I looked into it, I discovered that something is broken in how R CMD CHECK --no-install works in 2.10.1. I couldn't tell you what is broken exactly, but I took the time today to package up all the Suggests (and their depchain) and tested the package without --no-install (and without --no-latex) and it works fine again. I asked Orion (the R-multcomp maintainer) if he was interested in maintaining/co-maintaining/reviewing these new R packages, but he wasn't interested. In fact, he said he was more inclined to orphan R-multcomp. Is there any interest in helping me maintain and review these new R packages in Fedora? The packages are already done, its just the reviews and upkeep that I'd need help with. Here's the packages: http://auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/R-multcomp/ These are the R packages I made today: coin, colorspace, ipred, lme4, mboost, mlbench, modeltools, multicore, party, robustbase, sandwich, strucchange, vcd, xtable If any of these look interesting to you, speak up! If no one cares, I might just let R-multcomp orphan off, but if there are some willing helpers, I'll keep it alive with its new dependencies. ~spot

R-repo
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Dear all, There is a some group of people which is gathering at this moment to build a RPMs R-repository. This repository will be built using R2rpm which mean: - No -devel subpackage - Automated spec generation - Dependencies resolved based on the DESCRIPTION file We will make sure that the package that don't build have logs available. At the moment we are trying to put together all the infrastructure. We have started to build the first packages and are hoping to have the first generation of the repository in few days. For those of you who would be interested we have just set up a mailing list at: http://www.bioinformatics.org/mailman/listinfo/r-repo-dev Feel free to join the discussions to make of this project something useful for all. Regards, Pierre

R 2.11.0 in Fedora Updates Testing
by Tom Callaway 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

R 2.11.0 is built now for Fedora and EPEL. It is in "updates-testing". In accordance with the new policies on Fedora Updates, these new packages will not be pushed as official updates until they either receive positive testing from users, or sit in updates-testing for two weeks. You can help us test these packages, and move them forward. Here's how: 1. Go to the Fedora Updates web application (its real name is "Bodhi"): https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ Once you're there, click the login blue box at the top left, and login with your Fedora Account. If you don't have a Fedora Account, you can skip this step. 2. Click on the link for the Fedora R test update that matches your release: Fedora 11: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/rpy-2.0.8-2.fc11,R-2.11.0-1.fc11 Fedora 12: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/rpy-2.0.8-2.fc12,R-2.11.0-1.fc12 EPEL-4 (RHEL-4): https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/R-2.11.0-1.el4 EPEL-5 (RHEL-5): https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/R-2.11.0-1.el5 3. Now, on your Fedora (or RHEL) system, run this command (as root, or with root privs) to install the test update: yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update R That should update R to the test update (if you don't want the full R suite, you can replace "R" in that string with "R-core"). 4. Test it! Make sure it does all the things you would expect it to. 5. Go back to the web page for the R update (step 2), and at the bottom, click "Add a comment >>" (If you didn't login, it will ask you for an email address and make you complete a captcha to make sure you are a unique individual.) In that text box which opens up, write a little bit about the testing you did and if it works okay for you or not. Then (this is the important part), click the "Works for me" or "Does not work" radio button below it, and click the Add Comment button. 6. That's it! If it worked, you've given that update a +1 karma vote. (If it didn't work, you've given it a -1 karma vote). Now, if three people give a +1, and the package update gets to +3, the Fedora Update system will automatically move the update from testing to a real update, and everyone will get it. Thanks in advance, ~spot, Fedora/EPEL R maintainer

R2rpm call for tester
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Dear all, I have been working on R2spec fixing a couple of bugs here and there and switching to a template engine (jinja2) for the creation of the spec (based on the idea from Allen S. Rout). I have also spent some time today to get a first R2rpm script working. Of course it uses the class from R2spec, so I have put them together in one rpm. I would like to have some feedback before pushing these through the repo, so if you could quickly test them and give me feed back it would be really nice :) sources: https://fedorahosted.org/releases/r/2/r2spec/R2spec-3.0.0pre.tar.gz src.rpm: https://fedorahosted.org/releases/r/2/r2spec/R2spec-3.0.0-1.fc12.src.rpm rpm: https://fedorahosted.org/releases/r/2/r2spec/R2spec-3.0.0-1.fc12.noarch.rpm Have a nice sunday, Pierre
