[Rd] Moving to a new bug reporting system?

2008-09-02 Thread Rory.WINSTON
Hi all

This may be an issue that has been discussed at length before, so apologies if 
I have missed that discussion, but is there any desire to switch from Jitterbug 
to something more capable and modern? Say JIRA, for instance?

Re: [Rd] Possible GPL Violation (Ian Fellows)

2008-10-23 Thread Rory.WINSTON
The law books were more interesting than the girlfriend...

Ouch!!!

But this does raise one of the issues I have with the GPL and the GPL family of 
licenses - the constant confusion around what is and what is not permissible. 
It's a gray area (possibly deliberately so), and most coversations end up with 
numerous opinions being offered, all prefixed with "IANAL, but..". It's that 
and the perception that the GPL ismore about ideology than software that lead 
me to prefer BSD-type licenses for pretty much everything.

IANAL, IMHO, etc etc.

Re: [Rd] handling a matrix and .C

I think this is the simplest way to handle matrices at this level - after all a 
matrix is really an homogenous array of data with indexing information ?

I have an example of handling matrices (using .Call) in an old post:
