dev-lang/R-2.6.1: In the file /usr/share/doc/R-2.6.1/html/packages.html the paths to the html help files are incorrect. The paths are given as (for example): a href="../../library/graphics/html/00Index.html" where the correct path to the file is: /usr/lib/R/library/graphics/html/00Index.html (The file on my amd64 machine is at /usr/lib64/R/library/graphics/html/00Index.html) This exists in R version 2.6.0 and 2.6.1, perhaps others. Reproducible: Always I did a search and replace in packages.html, replacing ../../library with /usr/lib64/R/library and now all seems fine, but I don't know what to fix in the ebuild, or I would submit a patch. Sorry.
Hi Stuart, Thanks much for your report and I can see your problem now. The way I use the docs is by simply typing help.start() which should generate a local copy of the docs in /tmp and fire up a browser with the help index (you may have to export BROWSER=<your browser here> before starting R if you don't use one of the defaults). This way should work fine. I'll see that I can fix your problem without screwing up R's help.start() behavior (if possible). Thanks, Markus
Fixed in R-2.6.1-r1. Re-open if it still happens after updating. Thanks.
