🐧 My Friday Linux tip is taking a rain check—randomness called!
Tomorrow I’m dropping a deep-dive blog on RandomWalker 0.3.0, now live on CRAN.
Think 3-D walks, on-the-fly subsetting, built-in confidence intervals, and the “x” column reborn as step_number. More goodies already cooking—stay tuned for the link!

I use my #rdocdump #rstats package myself very often to make sure LLM always has the most recent docs of an R package that I am using. In one line of code you get a text file with basically all package docs and vignettes. Not on #CRAN yet. I need feedback on it before I submit: https://www.ekotov.pro/rdocdump/
DevXY now provides CRAN R package binaries for Linux arm64 and Alpine Linux — making installs faster and workflows smoother for R users.

chromConverter 0.7.5 is finally available on CRAN! Major changes since v0.2.1 include support for 10+ new file formats (Shimadzu LCD/QGD, Agilent D, Varian SMS, Allotrope ASM, ANDI MS/CHROM, mzML), parallel processing, and improved metadata extraction.

Some #R #rstats about the packages on the repositories: #CRAN has 722 packages that use Bioconductor (3%), #Bioconductor has 2802 packages that use CRAN's packages (77%).
1.3% CRAN and 0.6% Bioconductor respectively use package outside these two repositories. But 91% and 93% use packages on their respective repos. 8% and 3% do not have any dependency on external packages (but could depend on system dependencies).
Today version 0.3.2 of the swephR package for R made it unto CRAN. Main reason for the upgrade was that CRAN had found a new WARNING by also inspecting the intermediate static library file. Instead of patching the upstream sources, I opted for deleting the library after building the the symbolic library for the package. It does not help anybody when code is inspected that is not actually used.
Two things were really nice:
* The warning message displayed at https://cran.r-project.org/package=swephR disappeared even before all test machines had build the new version. Probably once the first tests of previously failing tests came in.
* This package suggests a larger data package, that is only available on r-universe. Therefore, there had always been one NOTE, which meant manual inspection when submitting. Now this NOTE has been demoted to INFO, which goes through automatically, speeding up the process and leaving less work for the CRAN maintainers.
FYI: 14% of #CRAN links require knowing alias present on the libraries to resolve them. 80% of links to duplicated targets are present on the package. Which results on just 3% of links in packages being ambiguos (I expected more).
In related news, just 5 packages have different documentation for unix and windows! One of them breaks my #rstats link resolver...
Sometimes (often) one ends up needing to run older versions of R using older versions of packages. Evercran might be just the tool to help with that: https://github.com/r-hub/evercran#readme #RStats #docker #Cran #Rcheology
Last week, I updated #adegenet on #CRAN. This is an important update as it fixes a memory overflow problem for SNP data that has existed since 2016.
If you use #PopGen packages that import adegenet (e.g. #poppr, #vcfR, or #dartR), then you should update.

So the #CRAN repository for R packages was down for a few minutes, but it's up again.
Didn't find them on Mastodon, so thanking @R_Foundation for the fix instead.
👋 A regular reminder: CRAN Task View: Analysis of Spatial Data is always open for contributions!👋
Let us know about great tools for working with spatial data in R!
#CRAN could halve their work on the "incoming" queue by doing the following:
"R CMD CHECK --as-cran" should fail for exported functions witthout examples - authors prompted to fix b4 submission
There. I've done it.
I've just saved CRAN XX hours a week of emailing people to "please add examples".
If someone has any inside clout with CRAN/R core please make this suggestion.
As they say "volunteer time is precious", and this trivial fix could save so much!
