Plans for 2.14.0

[José Abílio Matos]

Hi Tom,
    what are your plans for 2.14.0? I am asking in light of the
development plan of R.

    Specifically, in this case, I am interested on the F-16 case.

    Regards,

We were discussing about this yesterday with spot.
The question was related to this:
    o All packages must have a namespace, and one is created on
      installation if not supplied in the sources.  This means that any
      package without a namespace must be re-installed under this
      version of R (but previously-installed data-only packages without
      R code can still be used).

So we have 64 (-1 false positive) R packages in Fedora and all the one
which 
1) are not data-only packages
2) do not already contain a namespace
have to be rebuilt.

By first look, I think we have 6 data-only packages:
R-affydata, R-BSgenome.Celegans.UCSC.ce2, R-fibroEset, R-hgu133acdf,
R-hgu95av2cdf, R-hgu95av2probe 

So 57 packages would be affected by condition one.
By simple grep, 42 packages have a namespace from this 42 I can see that
R-BSgenome.Celegans.UCSC.ce2 is in.

So we would have to rebuild: 63 - 6 - 41 = 16 packages, sounds duable.

I might have done an error or miss something but that gives us a first
clue.

Hope this helps,
Pierre



What I did:
1) list of R packages:
$ pkgdb-cli list R-\*
... 
Total: 64 packages
2) Clone all of them:
$ for pkg in `pkgdb-cli list R-\* --nameonly`; do fedpkg clone $pkg;
done;
3) Get all the packages with namespace:
$ grep namespace -iR ./R-* |wc -l
42
