Dear R-Users,
I'm trying to setup a personal repository for a few packages I'm working on.
I am on R-Forge but I still need to have various versions of my package that
R-Forge does not build (for R 2.8.1 for example).
So I followed the instructions in this document:
Hhttp://
cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Setting-up-a-package-repository
and used this function as recommended:
*write_PACKAGES()*
Now, when I try to install or update my package, I get:
*install.packages("bmisc", repos="http://www.benoitr.comze.com/R";)**
Error in read.dcf(file = tmpf) : Line starting '<head> ...' is malformed!*
Can someone help me with this ?
Yes:
R-2.8.1 under Windows will look into
http://www.benoitr.comze.com/R/bin/windows/contrib/2.8/...
for packages - and that does not exist. You just provide a binary
directory For R-2.13.x
You have to build a binary with R-2.8.x for the ..../2.8/ repository.
It is cumbersome to support so many binary versions since you have to
build a binary of your package for each of the R versions you want to
support.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
Benoit
