[Rd] Has the changelog for R-devel and R-patched moved?

2015-09-01 Thread Avraham Adler
Hello.

There used to be changelog of sorts for R-devel [1] and R-release [2].
Neither have been updated since 2015-07-24. Have these moved
elsewhere, or are they no longer being updated?

Thank you,

Avi

[Rd] lazy loading in SparkR

2015-09-01 Thread Tóth Zoltán
Hi,

I'm using SparkR and R won't read the promises from the SparkR package,
only if I run lazyLoad manually.

.libPaths(c(file.path(Sys.getenv("SPARK_HOME"), "R", "lib"), .libPaths()))
print(.libPaths())
# [1] "/private/tmp/spark-1.5/spark-1.5.0-SNAPSHOT-bin-hadoop2.6/R/lib"
# [2] "/usr/local/lib/R/3.2/site-library"
# [3] "/usr/local/Cellar/r/3.2.2/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library"

library(SparkR)
# Works

if(!exists("parallelize",mode="function")){
# Here is the trick. For some reason, SparkR doesn't load it's
functions/promises automatically here.
# We can fix it with an internal function:
lazyLoad(filebase = file.path(SPARK_HOME, "R/lib/SparkR/R/SparkR"),
envir = parent.frame(), filter = function(x) TRUE)
}

# parallelize() works now

Please help me understand what goes wrong.

Here is the whole repro:
https://gist.github.com/zoltanctoth/971ae374dace93de12f0#file-sparkr-rstudio-parallelize-r-L21-L31

And the relevant files from the Spark installation:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0xp2wgkbrl7ov64/AAAHRWdMecGMkVdo0GUs6fmYa?dl=0

Thanks,
Best,
Zoltan

I tried compiling using GCC. First, I changed config.site to:

   [1] "2040-01-01 12:00:00 GMT"

as was the 1848 one when TZ="UTC":

This is probably a quirk of FreeBSD's datetime support, I'll see what
the port used to do for 3.0.2.

Also, there is an issue tracking updating the port to the current
release: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195783. I've
posted the summary of this thread there, thanks for your help.

They haven't moved, but occasionally the updates get broken.  Thanks for
the heads up.  I'll give the process a kick.

Presumably, something that used to happen daily on the hosting machine (or 
elsewhere) isn't happening any more

If the functionality is easily restored, it will probably be restored soon; if 
not, probably somewhat later.

Meanwhile, the link to the latest NEWS file (one line above!) appears to be 
up-to-yesterday's date.

Yes, understood. The reason the changlog is prefereable is that the
NEWS is cumulative, and does not indicate changes between
R-patched_2015-08-26 and R-patched_2015-08-27. Whereas more
information can be gleaned from the changelog entries.


Obviously, this is of very low priority, and if the server refuses to
acknowledge Dr. Murdoch's well-placed steel-toe reminders, getting it
restarted should be deferred as long as is necessary. 8-)

Thank you,

Re: [Rd] R doesn't compile on FreeBSD 10.2

2015-09-01 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
The datetime.R issue looks familiar.  Darwin (the basis for OS X) copied 
a lot of things from FreeBSD, bugs and all.  So I expect the same remedy 
applies (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#OS-X):


'Configure option --with-internal-tzcode is the default on OS X, as the 
system implementation of time zones does not work correctly for times 
before 1902 or after 2037 (despite using a 64-bit time_t).'

You mean like

I tried "./configure --with-internal-tzcode && make", but it caused
problems seemingly with any parsing of time. Example:

  ~/R-3.2.2$ make check
  Testing examples for package ‘base’

  [...]
  running code in 'simple-true.R' ... OK

  < Warning messages:

  Stop.

Interestingly, doing the same (using option "--with-internal-tzcode")
with r69235 from the trunk, everything works fine and "make check"
completes with no errors.
