R Project Updates
Updates from R Core:
-
print()
methods for"xgettext"
and"xngettext"
now useencodeString()
which keeps, e.g.,"\n"
, visible. (Wish of PR#17298.) -
Elapsed-time limits can now be set for the lengthier parts of
R CMD INSTALL
via an environment variable: see its help page. [This is currently experimental and subject to change.] -
install.packages()
for source packages now has the possibility to set atimeout
(elapsed-time limit). For serial installs this uses thetimeout
argument ofsystem2()
: for parallel installs it requires thetimeout
utility command from GNUcoreutils
. [This is currently experimental and subject to change.] -
It is now possible to set
timeouts
(elapsed-time limits) for most parts ofR CMD check
via environment variables documented in theR Internals
manual. [This depends on the experimentaltimeout
feature ofsystem2()
and hence subject to change, as are the names of the environment variables.] -
R CMD check
checks for andR CMD build
corrects CRLF line endings in shell scriptsconfigure
andcleanup
(even on Windows). -
It is again possible to use
configure --enable-maintainer-mode
without having installednotangle
(it was required in R 3.4.[01]).
