You can email the Maintainer listed in DESCRIPTION. And please keep us posted, we would love to hear what BDR tells you about the supposed 'bug' here (hint: it is a side effect of another large package you loaded).

Two weeks to the #RStats 4.1.0 release! The release cycle is at the 'beta' release of R 4.1.0 which you can test via @debian binaries from my ppaR400 at @github, or via @docker using the rocker/r-base:4.1.0 containers as shown below. Please help and test your packages now.

You _could_ annotate each plot with the script name, date, git sha1, ... From a script used by cron where the date is stored: mtext(text=paste("Prepared on", format(Sys.time(), "%d %B %Y at %H:%M")), adj=0.99, cex=0.75, side=3, outer=TRUE, las=1, line=0.5) #rstats

Yes, @HackMD at hackmd.io site comes close. It is general Markdown, not R specific, but pretty good. #rstats

Any and/or all of - `gdb` (can be used on core dump too!) - `valgrind` - copious `print` statements - [ your best method here ] - creating more and more minimal examples - generally running / reproducing outside of RStudio #rcpp #rstats

The #RStats 4.1.0 test release binaries are now at the second round of 'alpha' releases (dated 2021-04-26) available in @Debian experimental, the PPA I set up, and via #RockerProject container. Please help in testing the upcoming R 4.1.0 release.

Hm, two different topics. Namespaces in R are mostly similar to use elsewhere and let you hide/expose as needed. S4 is a different topic but can be used with them. And yes S4 can be challenging. But it grew on me during the work on two recent packages.

If you have not yet seen @prince solo at the 2004 hall of fame inductions, watch it now. And a few years ago I found the @nytimes piece about how he as a "musician's musician" approached this. Pure gold. But video first. youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8… nytimes.com/2016/04/28/arts/…

And to make testing #Rstats 4.1.0 even easier, a #RockerProject r-base container is now available. Just 'docker pull rocker/r-base:4.1.0' and test as e.g. shown below. (Yes you may need to add Depends and LaTeX support ...). Plan to update the image weekly til release.

R 4.1.0 is coming May 18: we all should test it now. A first 'alpha' build dated 20210419 (svn r80191) is in @Debian experimental (not unstable due to release freeze). If you know how to help yourself on Debian, amd64 binaries are here: github.com/eddelbuettel/ppaR… #rstats

In theory, R_OFFLINE may work. In practice, someone who should have set ot may then have failed to do so. In practice, base::url() is orthogonal to all this, does not require other resources, folks, or coordination--and thus seems to work for me. #rstats

I have `isConnected` in package `dang` which does the trick---by trying to resolve Google (as a default, can be changed) and to open the page. As it relies only on base R itshould be portable enough. I am sure lots of people have similar helper functions. #rstats
