makeRepo error for mac.binary.mavericks #11
Comments
|
I found a fix by changing the last lines of code in the makeRepo function in makeRepo.R from if(download) download.packages(pkgs, destdir=pkgPath, repos=repos, type=type) to if(download) download.packages(pkgs, destdir=pkgPath, repos=repos, type=type) |

This is possibly related to |

Could it be simpler than that? It seems that write_PACKAGES does not have mac.binary.mavericks as a type option and so it cannot write the PACKAGES file. Everything else works fine. It is just the PACKAGES files that are not produced. |

Possibly. But I can't test it using R-3.0 because the mavericks binaries exist only for R-3.1 and up. So there is an even deeper underlying problem. Regardless, can you please test the following:

I am running R-3.1.1 and get the expected results. See attached. I will distribute my own app (Radiant) to students through a read-only dropbox folder with fall and It took me a while to figure out how to install from the local repo. Attached what I came up with. If there is an easier/better way to do this I would love to hear about it. Perhaps an example in the vignette would be useful to others? Again, great package. I expect it will save me a lot of headaches with 200 students using Radiant in a few weeks. Vincent From: Andrie <notifications@github.commailto:notifications@github.com> Possibly.

I have a slideshare presentation at http://www.slideshare.net/RevolutionAnalytics/through-the-firewall-with-minicran that explains how to refer to your local repo. The trick is to use I hope this helps. Thank you for trying the package and reporting what you find. I'll include additional help and documentation in the next few days. |

Thanks @andrie. That does help. Is it possible to add the one line of code to makeRepo.R? if(type == "mac.binary.mavericks") type <- "mac.binary" |

@mostly-harmless Can you please contact me via email? You can find my contact details in the maintainer field of the package DESCRIPTION. I am keen to resolve this issue, but I need to find a reliable way to test. You can help with that. I wrote some additional unit tests and I need to see the test results on a mac. Thanks in advance. |

@mostly-harmless I have now fixed this issue in a more general way in the development branch. Please let me know if this works for you. |

Thanks for the update @andrie. Everything seems to work fine except for mavericks. The directory structure is created but the PACKAGES files are not. See message below: pkgList <- pkgDep(pkgs, repos=repos, type="mac.binary.mavericks", suggests = FALSE) Error in match.arg(type) :
locale: attached base packages: other attached packages: loaded via a namespace (and not attached): From: Andrie <notifications@github.commailto:notifications@github.com> @mostly-harmlesshttps://github.com/mostly-harmless I have now fixed this issue in a more general way in the development branch.

@mostly-harmless That still looks like the error in the master branch. Did you install from the dev branch? |

I guess I must have done something wrong the first time (I used ref = “dev” initially). I uninstalled and restarted R. Then ran the code below and the PACKAGES files are created. The final thing printed is now. [[1]] Thanks!! Question: Is there a way in miniCRAN to add-in packages built using devtools::install_github()? For example, most of the packages I use are from CRAN but some (e.g., ggvis or rvest) may not be or the version on CRAN is older.

@mostly-harmless You asked:
I opened a new issue #50 to track this. I'd like to have this functionality in due course. |
Great package @andrie !
I have been trying to create a miniCRAN repo for mavericks. When I use makeRepo, however, I get the following error:
Error in match.arg(type) :
'arg' should be one of “source”, “mac.binary”, “win.binary”
From the install.packages help file: Possible values are (currently) "source", "mac.binary", "mac.binary.mavericks" and "win.binary"
mac.binary.mavericks files are collected but the PACKAGES files is not. This is probably an issue in write_PACKAGES but I couldn't see how to fix it.
