[Rd] Using SVN + SSH on windows
Hi the list, I try to use R-Forge for developping a projet. I am using tortoise SVN (last version) but I do not manage to Commit. I read the R-Forge user Manual and some post on but I do not manage to find the solution. Here is what I did: 1/ I download 'puttygen.exe'. I generate a key (256 bits). 2/ I save the private key in a file 'private.ppk' on my computer. 3/ I copy-paste the public key on sourceforge ssh-rsa B3NzaC1yc2EBJQAAACEAobwycGGZrMZ39i7Vtrdk3ahN1hVw/tPoiShJGk1xjRs= rsa-key-20100327 4/ I wait two hours. 5/ On my computer, I run 'pageant.exe'. 6/ I click on 'Add key'. I load the file 'private.ppk' 7/ I close 'pageant.exe' (still actif in the task bar). 8/ I open explorer. I create a directory that is suppose to be the local directoy for the projet. 9/ I right-click on the directory. I open 'SVN checkout' 10/ In 'URL of repository:', I write : 'svn+ssh://christo...@svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/kml3d' (christophe is my accoung, kml3d is the project) And... ...nothing happen. No bug, not warning, nothing. I try several things: if I do 'svn://christo...@svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/kml3d', I do manage to download the project. But then, I do not manage to upload some modification. I also see on some tutorial that we might need putty.exe or plink.exe. I download them, but R-Forge user Manual do not mention them. Any idea of what goes wrong ? Thanks Christophe __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
Re: [Rd] Using SVN + SSH on windows
From my memory: I guess you need to tell TortoiseSVN to use plink as your ssh client. I do not use putty myself hence cannot look into the details here.

Re: [Rd] Using SVN + SSH on windows
I am using TortoiseSVN 1.6.7 on Vista and right clicking in Windows explorer and choosing TortoiseSVN | TortoiseSVN Settings | Network gives a blank dialog. In fact I don't think I have ever used the TortoiseSVN Network dialog at all yet I am able to use TortoiseSVN to send commits to R-Forge. Not sure it matters but I normally run pageant from the command line like this: pageant \mydir\privatekey.ppk I also had a lot of problems getting commits to R-Forge to work from Windows. The entire system is really geared to UNIX. It took me a couple of days of trial and error (since you have to wait 20 minutes for each try) before I got it working. Although I did get it to work, I ultimately decided to host all my packages on googlecode. googlecode is extremely easy to use from Windows and does not require any public/private key, pageant, etc. e.g. http://sqldf.googlecode.com. If you already have TortoiseSVN and know how to use it then you can probably set up a googlecode site in literally 5 minutes. One other possibility. I think there is a way to host your project on googlecode but still have it mirrored on R-forge so from your users' viewpoint its the same as if it were on R-Forge but you can use the simpler googlecode site. In that case you might not need to set up commits on R-Forge since you would do all your commits through googlecode (depending on how it works) but I have not seen good documentation on how to do this. 2010/3/27 Uwe Ligges lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de: From my memory: I guess you need to tell TortoiseSVN to use plink as your ssh client.

Re: [Rd] Using SVN + SSH on windows
The worst part is the 20 minute delay which means that if here is something wrong and you don't know what it is and need to try various things via trial and error each try takes 20 minutes so its not surprising that it can be extremely time consuming to set up. I did set it up a long time ago so perhaps the situation is better now but my experience at the time was more like Christophe's. If the 20 minute turnaround cannot be solved then I think the best solution for Windows users would be excellent step by step documentation on how to mirror your repository onto R-Forge from googlecode and elsewhere so that Windows users can do their commits on googlecode (assuming that mirroring your repository is possible and is easier than the commit procedure and does not involve the 20 minute delay). 2010/3/27 Uwe Ligges lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de: It is really not hard to set it up.

[Rd] Installing R-packages in Windows Using Rtools - compilation error when signal.h included in C header
Hi all, I have been attempting to find a resolution to this problem but could not to any avail. I am attempting to install an R-package from source in windows that depends on underlying C-code. I should mention that this error is not found when installing this package from source in Linux or Mac. To do this I have installed R-tools 2.11 and was successfully able to use R and basic unix commands from the windows command prompt. When I install my package from the windows command prompt with R CMD INSTALL packagename however, the C files within the source directory all compiles until it hits a file called cheapcgi.c, where the following error is given: gcc -Ic:/R/include -O3 -Wall -std=gnu99 -c cheapcgi.c -o cheapcgi.o cheapcgi.c: In function 'catchSignal': cheapcgi.c:538: error: 'SIGBUS' undeclared (first use in this function) cheapcgi.c:538: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once cheapcgi.c:538: error: for each function it appears in.) cheapcgi.c:546: error: 'SIGKILL' undeclared (first use in this function) cheapcgi.c: In function 'initSigHandlers': cheapcgi.c:558: error: 'SIGBUS' undeclared (first use in this function) make: *** [cheapcgi.o] Error 1 ... done ERROR: compilation failed for package 'zinba' * removing 'c:/R/library/zinba' Exploring this error further, I see these variables are defined in the standard C header file signal.h, and is linked to in cheapcgi.c using #include signal.h in the beginning of the file. Now, the other C files have compiled successfully before reaching this file, so I know that the MinGW compiler is at least working. When checking the mingw/include directory in the Rtools folder, I do indeed see a file for signal.h, so it is not missing. This problem is baffling and I could not find any documents talking about this issues online. I do realize that system signals may not work in windows, but at least the header files for the signal.h should be found. I would be greatly appreciative if anyone can shed any insight on this issue. Again, this is only when installing R packages in windows using Rtools, not in Mac or Linux. Thanks very much, Naim __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

Re: [Rd] Using SVN + SSH on windows
I wasn't commenting of the overall worth of the system or the efforts of those involved in it but your experience is with Linux rather than Windows and I don't think you understand the problems that Windows users have with this. The poster may have believed its uniquely his problem but in fact others have had very similar problems in dealing with this. What is the purpose of this list if its not to share experiences to help one another? I think the useful suggestions I made could potentially save someone literally days of frustration and my other suggestions could possibly overcome these problems in part making the system more useful so I don't agree that this is mere complaining.

Re: [Rd] : Operator overloading for custom classes
Thank you for replying! But I have since figured out how to perform the operator overloading after reading the Not so short tutorial to S4 classes and a bit of Robert Gentleman's deceptively titled book on R. (I had mistakenly posted to r-devel earlier and when I posted to r-help subsequently I got a pointer to the resources on rwiki that dealt with OOP) Like you say, many already existing packages inside of R use operator overloading. For instance I later observed that the + operator was overloaded [by running the command methods('+')] for the Date and POSIXt classes. I will have to redefine the generic function + for my classes to get the output I want.

I have written a simple demonstration of a forward mode automatic differentiator in C++ and it is currently hosted on github: http://github.com/quantumelixir/ad-demo/blob/master/simple.cpp. It uses simple operator overloading techniques to modify the meaning of the basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) for the derivative type Dual number class that I have defined. Could you show me how this could be equivalently done in R? I want to know how to define custom classes and define the meaning of arithmetic for them. I had checked for operator overloading in R but could only find the equivalence of a + b and '+'(a, b) in the R language definition. Could you show how I could extend the simple object oriented-ness in the C++ code neatly to R? Thanks a bunch! Chillu [[alternative HTML version deleted]] First of all you should read about S4 classes, in particular the books of John Chambers should be helpful ;-) (others on this list might point you to further sources). The key is to define S4 classes for your operands [i.e; if I have understood correctly you would implement your Dual number class as S4 class]. Then you would define new methods by setMethod(). Not sure whether this gives you the indications you look for, but we have overloaded arithmetic operators to act on distribution classes in package distr (cf CRAN, developped under r-forge).

SF I guess I agree that there is no real value in forcing SF .conflicts.OK to be exported. so do I. So I guess we agree that Henrik's patch would be worth applying. @Henrik: if you resend your patch with the additions for attach, I will see about putting it in. When looking more carefully at base::attach(), I see that there is nothing to do, because attach() takes a data.frame, a list, an environment, NULL, or a file saved using base::save(). None of these can have a name space. The scenario I was worrying about was when you attach() the environment of a package with a namespace, e.g. envir - as.environment(package:graphics); envir2 - attach(envir, name=foo); ls(envir=envir2, all.names=TRUE); but to the best of my understanding it is only exported objects that are attached, i.e. if .conflicts.OK is not exported by the package, then it won't be attached and hence not exist either way. Is that correct? envir - as.environment(package:R.utils); envir2 - attach(envir, name=foo); ls(envir=envir2, all.names=TRUE); SF OTOH, this seems like a dubious feature to begin. When SF is it a good idea to use it? in cases, the package author thinks (s)he knows what (s)he is doing; e.g. in the case of Matrix, I could argue that I know about the current conflicts, and I would *not* want the users of my package be intimidated by warnings about maskings... I can't say that this convinces me that .conflicts.OK is OK. Are there package authors who realize they do not know what they are doing enough to keep the warning messages :-P I define throw.default() in R.methodsS3: R.methodsS3::throw.default function (...) { stop(...) } environment: namespace:R.methodsS3 In R.oo, which loads R.methodsS3, I override this with: R.oo::throw.default function (...) { throw(Exception(...)) } environment: namespace:R.oo The Exception class is defined in R.oo. If someone loads R.methodsS3 alone, you get a throw() method. Someone loading R.oo will get the a throw() that is backward compatible but with some extra bells and whistles recording the strack trace etc. This is an intended design. So when I load R.oo, I don't want the warning of overloading throw() in R.methodsS3. Is there an alternative for me?
