Re: [Rd] R Lapack – why a subset?

Peter, Is there not already a significant maintenance burden from cherry-picking routines? From my own experience (https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16482 ) this is a painful process. And while users may not call the

Re: [Rd] R Lapack – why a subset?

I'm not too happy with this either, but I believe the reason is that there would be a significant extra maintenance burden consisting of things that is not being used by R itself. In particular, complex math routines are little used and have historically caused a number of issues with correct ar

[Rd] R Lapack – why a subset?

Hi, Why doesn't R include a full Lapack but only a subset? My cda package (now archived) relying on RcppArmadillo has broken multiple times on CRAN over the past few years following updates in the underlying Armadillo library, Every time it follows the same pattern: Armadillo adds a function to s
