cran.r-project.org runs on a single old-school server in Austria
and could potentially be overloaded if "everyone" used it.
cloud.r-project.org is a cloud-based repository that "automatic redirection to servers worldwide [...]", cf. https://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html.
I assume, that cloud.* can be scale up as needed. Out of the official CRAN mirror, this should be the safest one to pick if a static CRAN mirror is needed.
* PackageMeta: `run_before` is an alias of `precondition`, `run_after` an alias of `sanity_check`
* PackageMeta: removed `precondition` and `sanity_check`
* PackageMeta: decorators are now free-standing
* package: modified/added docstrings. Fixed the semantics of `on_package_attributes`.
* package: added unit test assertion as side effects of install
* build_systems: factored build-time test running into base class
* r: updated decorators in package.py
* docs: updated decorator names
* Fix configure's zlib version check
R wants a version of zlib that is 1.2.5 or newer.
The version checking code just does a lexicographic comparison
of the first 5 characters of the string, so it seesthat the latest
zlib version, 1.2.10, as 1.2.1 and fails.
This patch changes the comparison to use zlibs' hex ZLIB_VERNUM
so that it does not suffer from this problem.
A version of this patch is wending it's way through the R comunity
community and will/should be included in a future release.
I tested the patch with the current R, 3.3.1.
* Tighten zlib dependency version (>= 1.2.5)
* Convert patch to level=1 format.
* Removing the nobuild, nolink, and alldeps dependency types in favor of being explicit.
* This will help with maintenance going forward, as adding more dependency types won't affect existing declared dependencies in weird ways.
* default deptype is still `('build', 'link')`
* Rename packages
* Upcasing depends_on() in packages.
* Downcased extends('r')
* Fixed erroneously changed URL that had slipped through.
* Fixed typo
* Fixed link from documentation into package source code.
* Fixed another doc problem.
* Changed underscores to dashes in package names.
* Added test to enforce lowercase, no-underscore naming convention.
* Fix r-xgboost
* Downcase more instances of 'R' in package auto-creation.
* Fix test.
* Converted unit test packages to use dashes not underscores
* Downcase `r` in the docs.
* Update module_file_support.rst
Fix r->R for class R.
