| r-forge-r-development-tab-released- |
The R-Forge team proudly presents the new experimental R Development Tab. The tab is available for all projects using SCM.
R-Forge now officially supports multiple packages per project (simply put your projects in subdirectories of pkg/).
The R Development tab shows a list of all packages in a project, with information about the packages, download links and (for admins) build logs.
Planned features include access to check logs, Mac builds and CRAN commit functionality.
Additionlly, now that mailing lists are finally working, project admins can enable commit emails in the SCM->Admin tab.
Please direct your feedback, suggestions, questions or even complaints at: http://r-forge.r-project.org/tracker/?group_id=34
or
r-forge@r-project.org

| upgrade-change-of-package-building-system |
As of tomorrow morning local time we are going to change to a new build system, which will include mac binaries and check summaries. We move from shell script based building to a nearly complete R based build system, which makes cross platform administration easier.
This may have the consequence that package builds will brake over the weekend.
So please be patient until we are fully operating at the beginning of next week again.
Best,
Stefan |

- new field "Revision" in DESCRIPTION files. R-Forge packages now include this field which is automatically generated upon checkout.
- log files include additional information like the R version used to build the package.
- Bioconductor dependencies are now resolved correctly.
- an additional link for each package in the 'R packages' tab points to the CRAN web area of the corresponding package (if it exists).

| mailing-list-improvements |
Several mailing list issues have been fixed or improved in the last couple of days:
- I've fixed a problem with list admin mails not being delivered. As some of you may already have noticed, those notifications now work properly.
- As a side effect, mails to <username>@users.r-forge.r-project.org are now properly forwarded.
- There is now an option to generate a new password for mailing list administration, in case you cannot recall your old one. Just go to the List -> Admin tab and click "Generate New Password".
- Automated commit mails are now truncated to be smaller than 40kB. This way they do not get caught in Mailman's size filter and don't require authorization by the list admin.
Regards
Martin

| r-forge-new-year-update- |
The R-Forge Development and Administration Team wishes the whole R community a happy new year. The first update in 2009 includes:
- a new documentation section on the home page,
- a link on the home page to a short introduction to the R-Forge system. The title of this paper is "Collaborative Software Development Using R-Forge".
Furthermore, RForgeTools have been updated to version 0.3-1 which delivers,
- a new field "Revision" in the PACKAGES file in all R-Forge contrib directories. You can use e.g. the command available.packages(contriburl = contrib.url("http://r-forge.r-project.org"), fields = "Revision") directly in R to additionally retrieve the SVN revision of the packages on R-Forge,
- an improved build/check system,
- and a revision-based package building system leading to faster availability of package binaries.

| r-forge-update--minor-improvements |
Today we improved the package build system.
- closed [#262] we added support to Brian Ripley's Windows packages repository (see http://r-forge.r-project.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=262&group_id=34&atid=196 )
- fixed some lines in RForgeTools (now version 0.3-2). Resolving dependencies (Depends + Suggests in DESCRIPTION) works better now.
- MacOSX: switched back to universal package binaries (default R on CRAN is a Tiger build).
Best,
Stefan

| r-forge-update |
We are pleased to see that R-Forge has more than 1000
registered users now. What's more, around 350 projects and
almost 400 hosted packages show that there is great interest in
R-Forge among the R community. And these numbers are constantly
increasing.
We made the following changes and updates to the R-Forge system:
- R-Forge packages now additionally include the following meta
information in DESCRIPTION files:
- Repository: R-Forge
- Repository/R-Forge/Project: <project_unix_name>
- Repository/R-Forge/Revision: <revision_in_SVN>
- Publication/Date: <commit_date>
Note that this information is added on the serverside. If the
tags already exist they get overwritten. Nevertheless, you may
want to include this information in your DESCRIPTION file if you
submit your package to CRAN via the non-R-Forge way (the ftp
upload). CRAN uses/will use the information to automatically provide
some info (like the link to the R-Forge project) on the package
web sites.
- RForgeTools updated to 0.3-6: resolve Omegahat package
dependencies, help files, minor fixes.

We made the following changes and updates to the R-Forge system:
- Added a graphic showing the stages of the package build and check system (http://site.r-forge.r-project.org/).
- Added a globlal check flag. Packages hosted on R-Forge are now checked using "--no-examples --no-tests --no-vignettes" as additional flags to R CMD check due to the heavy compute time needed for a complete run. Developers may apply that their packages are listed in a so-called white list to enable run-time checks again. More details will follow.
- RForgeTools updated to 0.4-4: This update includes a lot of small fixes regarding package dependencies and their installation. Furthermore, packages are only built if the SVN revision changes, otherwise the previous tarball or binary is kept.

| cran-and-r-forge-up-again |
Dear R-Forgers and site visitors,
We managed to get the main servers of the R project running again. There was a severe crash of core IT facilities at the WU Vienna due to a failure of the main power supply of the university (see also the post on R-help: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-April/236583.html). We temporarily moved the CRAN master server as well as the R-Forge server to a different location. The build/check servers of CRAN and R-Forge are still down and will be started as soon as the power supply is restored.
We apologize for the downtime and the inconvinience caused.

| maintenance-work---disk-space-extension |
Dear R-Forge users,
Please note the short (<30min.) R-Forge downtime today at 18:00 CET.
Details:
We need to extend disk space of the system hosting the core R-Forge components. This will lead to a short (<30min.) downtime of R-Forge today at 18:00 CET. This is necessary due to the unreliability of R-Forge especially on weekends, when log files have to be copied to a backup location.
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

| cran-master-upgrade---advance-notice |
To all CRAN-Users/Uploaders/Mirror-Providers :
CRAN master server upgrade on Nov., 2nd.
Technology never stands still, so there comes a point when we need to upgrade our hardware to keep up with todays market.
At the moment we are migrating data to the new server and test it as best as possible. The server will provide exactly the same content that CRAN already provides, but faster, and hopefully saver and better.
The move is being done for several reasons:
- There is better hardware technology available.
- Better technology means faster processing to meet the requirements.
- Hardware devices have a finite life.
The move will take place on Nov.,2nd in the afternoon.
Regards,

Dear users of R-Forge,
We are still testing the new FusionForge framework which is running R-Forge. Several features are still offline:
o project registration is turned off as related components are currently being tested,
o the package build system is being redesigned and will not be available before the end of the week.
Furthermore, we ask you to help us in testing the website and its features by sending us feedback to R-Forge@R-project.org.
Note also that project administrators are asked to define tags for their project. These tags will be aggregated and presented as a tag cloud on the R-Forge home page. It will help visitors of the site to find projects based on their interests more easily.

Since the server that hosts the website and its services are located there, it will also need to be moved to the new location.
During this move, *all services* will be shut down and remain offline until reconnected at the new campus.
The downtime dates are as follows:
24 June: Complete downtime (website, SVN repositories, mailing lists, package build process, etc.)
8 July: Build process down (no packages will get built during this time)
We will try to keep the downtime as short as possible however in each case it can last up to several days.
