littler provides r
(pronounced littler), a shebang / scripting / quick eval / pipelining
front-end to the the R language and system.
This version adds a few minor behind-the-scenes improvements:
interactive()now evaluates to false as you’d expect in a non-interactive scripting front-end. To restore the previous behaviour, new switches-ior--interactivehave been added.- Some of the ‘cleanup’ functionality described in Section 8.1.2 on ‘Setting R callbacks’ from the R Extension manual have been adopted.
- Example scripts
install.randupdate.rreceived an update based on lessons learned from the R 2.10.0 roll-out and package rebuilding. - A few build issues were improved, a minor manual page formatting bug was fixed.
As usual, our code is available via our svn archive or from tarballs off my littler page and the local directory here. A fresh package is in Debian’s incoming queue and will hit mirrors shortly.
