Package mgcv was updated to 1.8-7 and so source for 1.8-6 was removed from http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge -1 =sci-CRAN/mgcv-1.8.6:0/0::R_Overlay Actual Results: >>> Failed to emerge sci-CRAN/mgcv-1.8.6, Log file: By the way there are also missing dependencies to sci-CRAN/nlme and sci-CRAN/Matrix emerge -1 =sci-CRAN/mgcv-1.8.7::LocalOverlay 2>&1 | grep "ERROR\: dep" ERROR: dependencies ‘nlme’, ‘Matrix’ are not available for package ‘mgcv’
Created attachment 408654 [details] possible fix
Please provide: * emerge --info output; * build.log of the failed package.
Please stop assigning these bugs to me. I am not the maintainer of the R overlay. Benda Xu (heroxbd) is.
For CRAN archives, it is at present not considered. Although we have a plan to do that. The missing dependency is a feature, because R always ship those packages. reference: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/List-of-default-packages-that-come-with-R-td4661857.html
Hi, this was marked as in progress 2 years ago. Are there any news?
Sorry no progress since then. The size of the overlay becomes too large. I think we'd better just delete the old versions. What do you think?
yes, and you can remove # $Header: $ in all ebuilds via script.
(In reply to Jonas Stein from comment #7) > yes, and you can remove > # $Header: $ > in all ebuilds via script. Yes indeed. BTW, Jonas, are you interested in maintaining the R_Overlay together with me?
No, unfortunately I have no time for that.
Fixed, thanks!
