| == CRAN_mirrors.csv ==
| |
|
| |
| Alba reported the following issue:
| |
|
| |
| <pre>
| |
| install.packages("ggplot2")
| |
| --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
| |
| Warning: failed to download mirrors file (cannot download all files);
| |
| using local file '/usr/share/doc/R//CRAN_mirrors.csv'
| |
| Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
| |
| In addition: Warning messages:
| |
| 1: In download.file(url, destfile = f, quiet = TRUE) :
| |
| URL 'https://cran.r-project.org/CRAN_mirrors.csv': status was
| |
| 'Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)'
| |
| 2: In file(file, "rt") :
| |
| cannot open file '/usr/share/doc/R//CRAN_mirrors.csv': No such file
| |
| or directory
| |
| </pre>
| |
|
| |
| I can’t reproduce it; when I’ve tried it on fresh Alpine installation, [http://haste.fit.cvut.cz/anowopo.sh|it works correctly for me].
| |
|
| |
| It seems that sometimes R needs CRAN_mirrors.csv, but it apparently installs it into docs, so it’s separated in R-doc subpackage…
| |
|

| |
| == Plot and X11 ==
| |
|
| |
| For plotting X11 libs and other graphic libs are needed. Quite huge stuff. Maybe we should provide two packages, something like with OpenJDK – R as a full-blown package with all dependencies and R-base as a lightweight package without X11?
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| == Installing R packages with C extensions ==
| |
|
| |
| Some R packages (like ggplot2) contains C extensions, so it needs header files, make and probably the whole C build environment to build them.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| == Missing depends_dev ==
| |
|
| |
| I forgot to add depends_dev. However, I don’t know how to find what exactly are dev dependencies of R. The same as makedepends?
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| == R_HOME ==
| |
|
| |
| I thought that environment variable R_HOME should be set globally. As I found some packages needs this variable. However, R complains:
| |
|
| |
| <pre>WARNING: ignoring environment value of R_HOME</pre>
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Martin Morgan explained me on r-help mailing list, that this variable is really not needed to be set system-wide.
| |
|
| |
| <blockquote>
| |
| R_HOME is set when R starts
| |
|
| |
| ~$ env|grep R_HOME
| |
| ~$ R --vanilla -e "Sys.getenv('R_HOME')"
| |
| > Sys.getenv('R_HOME')
| |
| [1] "/home/mtmorgan/bin/R-3-3-branch"
| |
|
| |
| and (after reading the documentation in ?R_HOME it the R help system)
| |
|
| |
| ~$ R RHOME
| |
| /home/mtmorgan/bin/R-3-3-branch
| |
|
| |
| so there is no need to set it in a system-wide profile. It is sometimes referenced inside an R package source tree that uses C or other compiled code in a Makevars file, as described in the 'Writing R Extensions' manual
| |
|
| |
| https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html
| |
| e.g., the section on configure and cleanup
| |
|
| |
| https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#Configure-and-cleanup
| |
|
| |
| In these circumstances it has been set by the R process that is compiling the source code.
