[Rd] sysdata.rda, namespaces and package dependencies

[Hadley Wickham]

Hi all,

I'm struggling with accessing a package dataset (munsell.map, stored
in sysdata.rda) when that package is imported, not required.  A simple
reproducible example is:

install.packages("munsell")
munsell::mnsl("10B 4/6")
# Error in match(col, munsell.map$name) : object 'munsell.map' not found

library(munsell)
munsell::mnsl("10B 4/6")
# Function works correctly

Am I doing something wrong, or is this namespace bug?

[Rd] License question

[Uwe Schmitt]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list for my question,
so please redirect me if this is the wrong place for the
following question:

Am I allowed to include R.dll and Rblas.dll in other software ?

In my case I'm want to run some R commands from a Python script
and save the results. I tried RPy2 which has some trouble running
on Windows.

Regards, Uwe

[Rd] windows directory structure

[Uwe Schmitt]

Hi,

I have some trouble to get the Python bindings RPy2 running with
the latest release of R. I'm using Windows.

The reason is, that RPy2 looks at certain places for R.dll,
as $R_HOME/bin and $R_HOME/lib, but not at $R_HOME/bin/i386
where the dll is located on my machine.

So I suspect that the directory structure has changed and the
RPy2 team did not notice it. I would like to discuss a patch with
the RPy2 team and therefore I need some information:

Did the structure really change ? If yes: when did that happen ?
Which variations are possible for different windows versions ?

Regards, Uwe

With open source software, you can do anything you want on your own
computer.  The difficult questions arise when you want to re-distribute
software.

You have provided very little context for your question, so the standard
answer on this email list is "Talk to your lawyer".

Hi,

I'm working on a Python based suite for processing mass spectroscopy 
data. The software will be open source.
My goal is to glue good solutions together, one of them is the R based 
XCMS library.

The question is, if I am allowed to distribute the R.dll and the related 
libraries together with my software, or
if it is better to ask the user to install these himself.

Regards,

Uwe

By principle it is better *not* to bundle libraries into the software.
This allows your user to benefits from bug-fixes and improvement which
are done upstream.
A list of reasons to discourage bundle library can be found there:

Yes.



If yes: when did that happen ?


With the release of R-2.12.0


Which variations are possible for different windows versions ?


Currently, the subfolders can be i386 or x64 as you will have seen in 
the manuals.


Best,
Uwe Ligges

Hi,

I think the help on fitted.values and fitted should mention predict in the "see

[Rd] customize the stylesheet R.css for a package?

[Yihui Xie]

Hi,

Since R 2.13.0 the stylesheet R.css is installed a per-package basis,
and I wish that package developers could be allowed to put a
customized R.css in their packages.

Thanks!

Regards,
Yihui
