编写R程序包，trimTrees和kknn不能自动安装

Question

Recently my package on R-Forge failed to build on windows, not linux. Apparently packages kknn and trimTrees are not available. I cannot figure out why or why these two packages are different from randomForest or rgl which installs automatically. I have tried to include package names in description file in Depends-field and/or in Imports-field. Nothing works... If installing my package from r-forge repos, with randomForest and trimTrees package removed, first mentioned will install automatically second will fail and have to be installed manually first. Why is this?

I have already read the this answer

thanks alot, Soren

Answer 1

It turned out to be a current rForge server issue when it updated to R 3.2. The problem can for now be fixed manually by contacting admin. They're working on general fix also.
