#46857 new defect

update rNMR to 1.1.8 using new xvfb-run port and xvfb subport as well as return to ${prefix}/lib/R/library

Reported by: howarth.at.macports@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.3.3
Keywords: Cc: jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)
Port: rNMR

Description

The attached Portfile diff relies on the following tickets...

1) Ticket #46849 which restores the ability of the R package to find R packages placed in ${prefix}/lib/R/library

2) Ticket #46842 which adds the new xvfb-run package which provides the Debian xvfb-run utility.

3) Ticket #46856 which adds the new xvfb subport to the xorg-server package which the new xvfb-run package depends_run on.

The new rNMR Portfile.diff implements the following changes...

a) Moves the location of the installed rNMR R package back to its previous location in ${prefix}/lib/R/library.

b) Adds the missing "require_active_variants tk x11" as the rNMR package requires a tk to use X11.

c) Updates the rNMR package to the 1.1.8 release.

d) passes the "${prefix}/bin/R CMD INSTALL -l pkg --byte-compile --build ${distpath}/[lindex ${distfiles} 0]" command through "which xvfb-run" to avoid build failures due to the use of X11 in newer version of rNMR.r.

system -W ${worksrcpath} "`which xvfb-run` ${prefix}/bin/R CMD INSTALL -l pkg --byte-compile --build ${distpath}/[lindex ${distfiles} 0]" 

No, let's not run an X11 server for the sake of installing a port. Can't you fix R to not try to use the X11 server if it isn't going to be rendering anything?

There doesn't appear to be any way around this short of using Xvfb. The error occurs at...

and R has made lazy-loading mandatory for R CMD Install for some time now.
