[Rd] R-3.1.0 OSX Snow Leopard installs old binary

2014-04-17 Thread Gábor Csárdi
Hi All, I am not sure why this happens, but apparently an old binary is installed by default. Downloading and installing the new binary by hand works fine. Is this the intended behavior? If yes, may I ask what is the reason for it? Thanks, Gabor > install.packages("igraph") There is a binary v

Hi, As Greg suggested, this new feature in type.convert certainly did surprise one user (me), enough so that I had to downgrade back to 3.0.3 until our code was modified to handle the new behavior. Here's my use case: I have a function that pulls arbitrary financial data from a web service call

2014-04-17 Thread Duncan Murdoch
Nobody else has replied to this, so I will. It's very unlikely that we would incorporate this function into base R. For one thing, the tools package is intended to be tools used by R, not by users. R doesn't need this function, so it doesn't belong in tools. (Some other functions in tools l

Thanks Duncan, for considering ASCIIfy. I understand your reasoning. This is a recurring pattern - I propose functions for core R, and Greg catches them from freefall :) I'm delighted with ASCIIfy being hosted in gtools. The R and Rd should be ready as is. Cheers, Arni ___
