[R-pkg-devel] Do you run R on Fedora or Debian?

[Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal]

Perfect.  Thanks.  That is what I am seeing and that is what is expected.  I have even gotten into a debugger,  and looked at to where the file was downloaded,  right after the download,  and it is in a proper temporary space.

Dirk if you really want to be a glutton for punishment,  could you try this:

install.packages("rerddapXtracto",  dependencies = TRUE)
library(rerddapXtracto)
xcoord <- mbnms$Longitude
ycoord <- mbnms$Latitude
dataInfo <- rerddap::info('etopo180')
parameter = 'altitude'
xName <- 'longitude'
yName <- 'latitude'
bathy <- rxtractogon (dataInfo, parameter = parameter, xcoord = xcoord,
                      ycoord = ycoord)

What you would be looking for is any sign that this has left a file in cache in the user's space.  I don't find any in my virtual machine

Assuming that pans out,  now my question is how to respond to CRAN.  I can give you one guess who from CRAN sent me the notice,  As I said,  I don't know how to fix something when everything I am have available to behaves properly.

Thanks,

-Roy

I installed Fedora on a virtual machine, no problem  (it is assigned a space in /tmp).  I would really appreciate it if someone who runs Debian or Fedora could test the following:

If you could run that and send me the result I would appreciate it (snd privately no need to spam the list with that).  I am at a loss as to how to respond to CRAN because I can't reproduce that error on anything I can test.  The cacheing is actually done by the package 'crul'.
