Re: [Rd] Error in generating sweave-tex -> pdf file
When I copied Sweave.sty in the directory where I ran R, I didn't have any error. But this is not the good solution as R can be run in any folder. I copied Sweave.sty in /usr/share/texmf/. I put my Rnw file in inst/doc folder in my R package to create the vignette. I ran R CMD check and it doesn find texi2dvi. - Original Message From: Duncan Murdoch To: carol white Cc: r-devel@r-project.org Sent: Wed, December 22, 2010 10:33:01 PM Subject: Re: [Rd] Error in generating sweave-tex -> pdf file On 22/12/2010 1:30 PM, carol white wrote: > Should the Sweave package be in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/?

I also copied Sweave.sty in the directory of my Rnw file (according to http://www.stat.uni-muenchen.de/~leisch/Sweave/FAQ.html) but texi2dvi not found when I ran R CMD check.

Re: [Rd] Bug filed on unzip() function
This message contains a good question: Is there any reason why the bug reports are no longer mailed to R-devel?

I also see on the description of R-devel that the list "also receives all (filtered, i.e. non-spam!) bug reports from R-bugs", but I don't see it here.

Re: [Rd] Error in generating sweave-tex -> pdf file
Hi Carol As you now know, this is because per default R/Sweave puts the line \usepackage{Sweave} in the generated tex file. This means the tex file is "portable", but it also implies that Sweave.sty needs to be "installed" in your tex installation. Or you can put the Sweave.sty in the directory of the Rnw file since tex usually is set up to search the same directory. An alternative is to get R to generate a line like \usepackage{FULL_PATH_TO_SWEAVE.STY} in the tex document. This implies that the tex file can only be tex'ed on a setup where the Sweave.sty is at the same place - hence it kind of break portability. Now portability of the tex file does not matter to many users - most of us think of the tex file as an intermediate file and only care about the Rnw file and the final PDF. You get this behaviour by setting the environment variable SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT to TRUE An easy way to do this is to include the following line in your .Rprofile Sys.setenv("SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT" = "TRUE") This trick also fixes running Sweave on a system where you do not have admin rights.

Re: [Rd] Error in generating sweave-tex -> pdf file
Hi, Sorry for the late entry here, but I just noted that Carol is running Fedora 10, which has not been actively supported for just over a year. It went End of Life (EOL) in December of 2009, which means that your Fedora 10 installation has been without bug/security fixes, application patches and other important updates since then. The only actively supported released versions of Fedora are 13 and 14. So you should really update the underlying Fedora installation ASAP, which will also get you to R version 2.12.x, which is available via Fedora's yum updates for 13 and 14. At this point, it would be prudent to move to Fedora 14, given that Fedora 13 will go EOL late next Spring after Fedora 15 is released. So you may as well give yourself a longer time frame of support, given Fedora's aggressive version update/EOL schedule.

Re: [Rd] Error in generating sweave-tex -> pdf file
Thanks for all replies. I found Sweave.sty in the system files of my local machine. It was sitting in /usr/share/R/texmf/. The content is the same as the file sent previously. So the file has always been in the system but R has been unable to find it. I put the sty file in the home directory, in the folder where the Rnw file is, used \usepackage{/usr/share/R/texmf/Sweave.sty}, set SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAUL = TRUE, still with R CMD check, texi2dvi can't be found. Recall that before I started to create the package vignette, I could generated the pdf file of the tex file by invoking texi2dvi in an R session after loading library(tools).

The way Bugzilla works is that all parties involved in a bug get e-mails - but then they get all of them including all updates of the status, replies etc. One way to get involved is to be the assignee for a bug and most bugs have R-core as the assignee so that's where it goes. Although we could add R-devel on the CC list it would mean that *every* change to a bug will result in a message and I suspect R-devel subscribers would not be quite happy about that. I don't know of any provision that would make it possible to broadcast the initial report only. Moreover, doing so on R-devel would be somewhat problematic, because people might reply to all and thus some correspondence would still land on R-devel whereas replies via website would not - and that could lead to a serious confusion. > I'd appreciate to get a notice what is going on in the bug repository without > having to look on those web pages. > I could add you to the CC list of any (or all) components - that's one way (it could be interesting to see how it works traffic-wise).

Comments > are welcome. > > Cheers, > Simon I don't know what the volume of traffic would be from Bugzilla these days versus what it used to be from Jitterbug. One of the issues with Jitterbug and the cc'ing of bug reports and comments to R-devel, is that the e-mails would frequently come from the participants in the bug report who were not subscribers to R-devel. That required that the R-devel moderators manually approve those e-mails, which added overhead. In fact, since moving to Bugzilla, the volume of manual approvals on R-devel has declined notably since those e-mails are no longer mirrored. There is not an easy way to interact with Bugzilla via e-mail as there was with Jitterbug. The last time that I looked into this during the transition, it would require e-mails with a very specific formatting and name-value pair style entries in the message body, which could then be parsed by Bugzilla for inclusion into the underlying database. So one could not just reply to a Bugzilla bug report or comment with a free form e-mail as could be done with Jitterbug. If an e-mail list mirror is desired, I would vote for a separate READ-ONLY list that folks could subscribe to and/or perhaps have an RSS feed that could be followed for updates. Making the list read-only would obviate situations where somebody replied to a bug report and/or comment via e-mail, where that reply would of course not make it into the Bugzilla repo thread, resulting in a loss of information. With Bugzilla, the results of search queries generate an RSS feed link at the bottom of the query results page (see the "Feed" link), which can be subscribed to using one's favorite RSS reader. That would be one way of keeping track of new/open bug reports. One could, if desired, create custom queries in Bugzilla using the Advanced Search functionality and then use the resultant RSS feed link to keep track of updates to the particular query result set. Also, I don't know what the typical response time has been on Bugzilla once a bug report is filed. Perhaps something could be noted there so that bug reporters might have some expectation that a comment/reply might be forthcoming within X days of filing. After that time frame, some recommended form of follow up communication could take place as a tickler/reminder of sorts. That's my $0.02.
