Dear R-developers,
As part of our package building process, we maintain internal CRAN-like
repositories of our packages. This has worked pretty well, but we are
running into issues with R 3.1 and OSX mavericks.
Specifically, machines with osx mavericks seem to, by default, expect
packages to be located under a 'mavericks' sub-directory, but this is
not the location reported when generating a mac.binary appropriate
contrib url.
>contrib.url('foo')
[1] "foo/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.1/"
If I ask where the mac binaries are on a linux machine (AND on mac
mavericks machines) I get
>contrib.url('foo',type='mac.binary')
[1] "foo/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.1/"
But the OSX machine gives an error and fails to locate the packages if
they are located at foo/bin/macosx/contrib/3.1/
So where are the mac binaries supposed to located in a CRAN-like
repository so that they can be installed on a mac with the default
install command? And is there a way for a non-mac machine (i.e. our
linux deploy server) to determine that directory other than
contrib.url(,type='mac.binary) ?
thanks for your help,
-skye
