Hello, All:
What's the status and future plans for R-Forge? I ask primarily because a problem I reported May 15 and 17 via two different channels has yet to be fixed, and it prevents my development versions of the Ecdat and Ecfun packages from building -- because the Windows version cannot find "Matrix"; see below. Secondarily, the version of R that R-Forge tried to use earlier today was 3.5.3 -- NOT the current version. Assuming you recommend migrating to GitHub, do you have a preferred procedure? I found "https://gist.github.com/friendly/7269490". This says it was "Last active 2 years ago" but seems to be the most current advice I can find on this right now. That looks complicated, but I assume it preserves the edit history on R-Forge. ??? Thanks, Spencer Graves -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Error : package 'Ecfun' could not be loaded Date: Fri, 17 May 2019 18:41:12 -0500 From: Spencer Graves <spencer.gra...@prodsyse.com> To: r-fo...@r-project.org Hello: Your Windows platform cannot find "Matrix" and other packages. See: https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1439&add_log=check_x86_64_windows&pkg=Ecdat&flavor=patched&type=00install.out I reported this to your Support tracker two days ago: https://r-forge.r-project.org/tracker/?atid=194&group_id=34&func=browse Can someone please fix this? Or is it now the official policy of R-Forge to ask people to go someplace else, e.g., GitHub? From what I know, the basic design of R-Forge is vastly superior to GitHub for packages submitted to CRAN. However, I've encountered numerous reliability problems with R-Forge in recent years.
