Hi, I have been attempting to check a new version of the prettyR package, and have struck a difficult problem. The check fails at the installation, and when I track the error, it is "Unexpected end of input" in the xtab function. I have tried a number of things as I thought that it was a non-printi

[R-pkg-devel] making packages available for 3.4.2

I noticed yesterday that at least two packages that I maintain were "not available for R-3.4.2". Obviously I would not like to drift into obsolescence, and I know that the packages function with 3.4.2 as I have been using them on a daily basis. Clearly I have missed something about package manageme

I suppose that it is far too late to offer such a suggestion, but it seems to me that the problem is in some measure the mechanism of inheritance. First, the tibble (although the name is incomprehensible, why not something like "data.blob") is superior to the bog standard R data.frame. This may n

Hi, I received the message below a few days ago. I have no idea why the plotrix package should not install properly to a directory with umlauts in the path name. Apparently other packages do install properly for the OP. If any package gurus know the answer to this, I would be happy to hear about it

Hi Arnab, It will be something like this: importFrom("utils", "read.table") export( fil ) S3method(print,fil) You will probably have to import some functions from the packages that come with R. Then you list all the functions you want to export, separated by commas. Finally you list any methods

Hi Larisa, I guess that you are using an editor with "soft" line breaks to edit your .Rd files. This will look like the lines in question are broken, but when the file is saved, the lines will be joined together unless you have ended each section with a return character. If you turn off "word wrap"
