Re: [Rd] Build failure on powerpc64

Do note that 3.6-patched will only be live for a day or two as we branch for 4.0.0 on Friday. Anything committed there is unlikely to make it into an official release (in principle, the 3.6 branch can be revived but it would take a very strong incentive to do so.) If you want an R-3.6.3-for-ppc

Re: [Rd] Build failure on powerpc64

This change seems correct, but as we don't have any non-PPC64 systems or build targets in the Fedora buildsystem, it won't affect Fedora if it doesn't make it. Tom On Wed, Mar 25, 2020, 6:16 AM peter dalgaard wrote: > Do note that 3.6-patched will only be live for a day or two as we branch > f

[Rd] contribution to package graphics::barplot

Dear R-devel members, I made a small modification in the graphics::barplot function when used with a matrix and beside argument set to false in order to be able to order each bar according to its value (from smaller to bigger or bigger to smaller), while keeping the colors. It may be of general

Re: [Rd] WISH: Sys.setlocale() to return value invisibly

I case someone runs into this topic. I just found the following comment from 2012 on BugZilla explaining why Sys.setlocale() does *not* return invisibly contrary to most++ other setters in R: PR#15128: Sys.setlocale() - return previous setting invisibly? Brian Ripley on 2012-12-09 16:53:43 UTC:

[Rd] unstable corner of parameter space for qbeta?

I've discovered an infelicity (I guess) in qbeta(): it's not a bug, since there's a clear warning about lack of convergence of the numerical algorithm ("full precision may not have been achieved"). I can work around this, but I'm curious why it happens and whether there's a better workaround -
