Description of problem: Rkward does not work together with R after the update to R-2.12.0. Problem probaly already solved upstream, as there is an update to rkward 0.5.4. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): R 2.12.0 rkward 0.5.3 (KDE 4.5.2) Fedora 14 (and 13) How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. start rkward 2. open a skript or type a command like xy<-1 3. Transmit this this. Actual results: error message: .rk.get.installed.packages ()[[1]] Warnmeldung: In library() : Library ‘/usr/share/R/library’ enthält keine Pakete x<-1 Fehler: unprotect(): nur 1 geschützte Elemente Expected results: no error. Additional info:
It must be RKward since emacs and console work.
RKward needs to be rebuild for each major release of R, but this has nothing to do with the update since the update came out before the release of R 2.12.0. I cannot build against R 2.12.0 yet as it is only available in updates-testing at the moment. I will not be able to ask for buildroot overwrite this week. But I will build the new RKward for rawhide. So you could either take it from there or rebuild the rpm from the srpm of the build.
There is the build for rawhide: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2585363
I don't know what buildroot overwrite means. I have no problem picking the rawhide rpm but it could be that there are some more complaints by other users when R-2.12.0 gets pushed to stable. Karma is 2 at the moment. Thanks anyway.
A buildroot override is a request to release engineering which allows building packages against some other package which is not in the stable updates yet (but only in updates-candidate (i.e. just built updates still pending push to anywhere) or updates-testing).
The R update is stable now, so the Rkward update can be built without a buildroot override now, and must be built ASAP! This should really have been pushed as a group. You (anyone who commented here before November 8, which is when the stable push happened) should have given negative karma to the R update. It is completely unacceptable to let such updates go out to stable. It is also not acceptable to say "I don't have the time to request a buildroot override". This kind of things MUST be done using buildroot overrides, when the update goes stable, it's too late, the push MUST happen as a group.
(BTW, it takes at most 1 or 2 minutes to request a buildroot override.)
(In reply to comment #7) > (BTW, it takes at most 1 or 2 minutes to request a buildroot override.) That is if you are in front of a computer and not stuck somewhere between two flights... Builds are going, I hope to have network to create the update a bit later.
