R does not update data.table -



R does not update data.table -

here current version of data.table:

bundle libpath version priority depends 1: data.table /library/frameworks/r.framework/versions/3.1/resources/library 1.9.2 na r (>= 2.14.0) imports linkingto 1: methods, reshape2 na suggests enhances license 1: chron, ggplot2 (>= 0.9.0), plyr, reshape, testthat (>= 0.4),\nhexbin, fastmatch, nlme, xts, bit64 na gpl (>= 2) license_is_foss license_restricts_use os_type md5sum needscompilation built status 1: na na na na yes 3.1.0 ok

as can see, 1.9.2, despite http://cran.us.r-project.org listing 1.9.4 current. tried next update it, little effect:

update.packages() update.packages(repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org') update.packages(old.packages='data.table', repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org')

sessioninfo() still gives me

other attached packages: [1] foreign_0.8-61 data.table_1.9.2 ggplot2_1.0.0

i'm on mac os x, , current version of r. detaching bundle prior updating not help.

it looks snow leopard binaries not beingness rebuilt: going http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/data.table/index.html shows 1.9.4 available other platforms (source, windows, os x mavericks), 1.9.2 available snow leopard.

i don't know whether transient/known/worth reporting cran maintainers or not. (perhaps study bundle maintainer, (a) want know if doesn't , (b) study cran maintainers if it's not already-known issue.)

i guess more general debugging advice check cran info page package, , actual urls bundle type you're interested in (in case http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/contrib/3.1/ or http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.1/ ), directly.

a workaround use

install.packages("data.table",type="source")

(provided have development tools installed).

r data.table
