In R2spec-3.0.3-1, if you set a local source (-s <source>) then the URL and source0 fields in the spec will remain empty. Such specs fail to build. There are a variety of ways to address this, I'm not sure that what I've done is really a superior solution. in RPackage.py, down the branch of "I've only got a source, not a source0", I added self.source0 = source self.URL = source (see below). This means that URL is populated with a local file path, but that's really all that's available. .... All I'm really trying to do right now is get ggplot to one of my customers. I wasn't gearing up for contributing much code, but I can, if that's what Pierre-Yves wants. I have to say, this is being a distinctly frustrating process. .... "below"... def setSource(self, source0, source): ''' From the url retrieve the name of the source ''' if source != None and source0 != None: if source != source0.rsplit('/',1)[1] : sys.exit("Do not give 2 contradictory sources of information") elif source != None: try: self.source = source.rsplit('/',1)[1] self.path = source.rsplit('/',1)[0] self.source0 = source self.URL = source except IndexError, err: self.source = source self.path = '../' elif source0 != None: self.source = source0.rsplit('/',1)[1] self.path = '../' self.source0 = source0 else: sys.exit("The source are not correct ") - Allen S.
