[Live-demo] Re: [OSGeo] #453: R script compiles from source, debs available

[Massimo Di Stefano]

from the page :

http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu/

i've notice the number of packages is limited to :

    r-cran-boot
    r-cran-cluster
    r-cran-codetools
    r-cran-foreign
    r-cran-kernsmooth
    r-cran-lattice
    r-cran-matrix
    r-cran-mgcv
    r-cran-nlme
    r-cran-rpart
    r-cran-survival
    r-cran-vr
    r-cran-rodbc


maybe i'm wrong, not sure,
but if we delete this from the installRpackages script,
can we create confusion, mixing binaries and source compiled packages ?

however,  if the source build is a problem,
why don't build the packages just one time
then create a .tar.gz for the libraries
and upload it on the svn.

So each time the gisvm script well runs it has to download the  
prebuild packages instead to re-compile it
(this procedure can works only if we don't run apt-get update /  
upgrade on the ubuntu distro. )

make sense for you ?


Thanks,

Massimo.


P.S:


on a fresh ubuntu9.04 machine i activated backports run update/upgrade  
and added: :

deb http://<http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/>/bin/linux/ubuntu jaunty/

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key E2A11821
gpg -a --export E2A11821 | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev

can i try to build the pacjkages and create the :

/usr/lib/R/site-library.tar.gz?

or maybe is better to do this process on the gisVM machine that will  
create the iso ?
