[rkward-devel] rk.Teaching package installation...

[SANCHEZ ALBERCA, ALFREDO]

Apologies for not giving news about RKTeaching.
Since my last email the plugin has evolved a lot, but still in Spanish. The new web is http://aprendeconalf.bitbucket.org/rkteaching/
I've taught several MOOCs with this package highly accepted in the Spanish community. You can access to the course videos in this youtube chahnel https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYEn7GTzOc8RFIBylmc8zBqfYtGYJzfrj
As I told you I intended to translate it to English, but I've been very busy with other projects in the last year. So, If someone interested could help me to translate it to English, I would be grateful.

Awesome, Meik; thank you! I figured there. Was a way, but after fiddling with it for 30 minutes or so, I decided to ask for help.

I'll take a look and see what state the translations are in...

actually, the response was a bit more like "we wait for the updated english
version and put it in the repo then" ;-)

judging from the github repo, there seems to be no change in the package
status since then:
 https://github.com/asalber/rkTeaching

@alfredo: how should we proceed? add the outdated package -- is it fit for
duty?

i think the problem could be that R for OS X expects binary packages by
default, but what you can download from the page is the package sources.
instead of

 install.packages("rk.Teaching", repos=NULL, dep=True)

try

 install.packages("/path/to/rk.Teaching.tar.gz", repos=NULL, dep=True,
   type="source")

i had to restart RKWard to have it recognize the new pluginmaps, and RKWard
complained that one particular XML file (sort.xml) was missing. apart from
that, it seems to run here.

btw, once you installed the package in one machine, you can actually zip up
the folder rk.Teaching in your R library as a .tgz file, and there you have
your binary package ;-) this will work a) for any package that only includes
pure R code (no FORTRAN, C, etc.), and b) also for windows, if you make it a
.zip file.


viele grüße :: m.eik
