Re: [Rd] Windows binaries: Version and revision strings show "(2006-00-00 r00000)"

FYI,

for the last few revision the version string for both R v2.14.0
patched and R devel are not correct for the Windows binaries.  This is
what R --version and sessionInfo() report since a couple of days:

R version 2.14.0 Patched (2006-00-00 r0)
R Under development (unstable) (2006-00-00 r0)

Also, "r0" is listed as the revision on:

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html



Thanks, I believe this is now fixed.  It may take a day or two for the 
new builds to work their way through the system.

 I agree with Martin that this might not be suitable for a C solution.

[Rd] Adding a "description" meta-tag to the R homepage (bump)

2011-11-20 Thread Tal Galili 
Hello dear R-devel,

I am allowing myself to bump this issue again (half a year later) -
I think that the www.r-project.org website could benefit from having a
description meta-tag.
Could anyone please let me know who to contact regarding this?

With much respect,
Tal

[Rd] Fortran runtime error with package cts on CRAN/Mac

2011-11-20 Thread Zhu Wang 
Hello,
 
As the author of package cts, I hope somebody on this list can kindly help 
(perhaps off-list)
to resolve the build/check issue with package cts for Mac. The error occurred 
on Mac machines only: 
http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_cts.html.
 
Here is the error message:
 
At line 10 of file machine.f
Fortran runtime error: Range error during floating point read 
 
The source file machine.f is to read machine dependent parameters stored in 
machine.txt, which was saved from R function .Machine. For convenience, the 
source file machine.f is listed below, along with machine.txt from a non Mac 
system (the last line NA was added for a test version of cts).
 
CCC READ MACHINE INFORMATION SAVED WITH R CODE
  SUBROUTINE MACHINE(EPS, BASE, T, EMIN, RMIN)

  INTEGER BASE, T, EMIN
  OPEN(UNIT=3,FILE='machine.txt',STATUS='OLD')
  READ(3,*)EPS  
  READ(3,*)BASE
  READ(3,*)T
  READ(3,*)EMIN
  READ(3,*)RMIN
  CLOSE(UNIT=3)

Another question is whether there is a way to submit a test to just one 
platform. I know this can be done for Windows, but I'm not sure for Mac. 
 
Thanks in advance.

Re: [Rd] Fortran runtime error with package cts on CRAN/Mac

2011-11-20 Thread Prof Brian Ripley 
Well, as Writing R Extensions says, packages should do no Fortran I/O 
at all.  So please pass the binary value to your code from R.


You cannot expect to write out extreme values without some 
representation error, and adjacent values cannot be read in again.


In any case, these values are essentially the same for all R 
platforms, being mandated by IEC60559.

What does 'submit a test mean'?  Any test you write can check the 
value of Sys.info()["sysname"]: it is "Darwin" on Mac OS X.
Or R.version$platform, which will be something like 
i386-apple-darwin9.8.0.




Thanks in advance.
