MCMCpack Subversion Archive

From MCMCpack

Jump to: navigation, search

The subversion archive that houses MCMCpack has been reorganized in the following fashion. It is available for browsing here. Please make sure all development takes place within the guidelines below.

  • archive/ -- the archive that contains all CRAN released versions of MCMCpack, and other miscellaneous materials (such as the NSF proposal and updates, the content of the pre-wiki website, manuscript drafts, etc.).
  • data/ -- a directory that contains files to build all datasets distributed in MCMCpack from their source files.
  • devel/ -- the development version of MCMCpack. We no longer have a stable branch. Please do development in your tmp/ directory and merge into devel when R CMD CHECK passes cleanly. Make sure to add all changes to the HISTORY file.
  • nsf -- various files from NSF proposals.
  • organization/ -- miscellaneous files pertaining to the organization of the project.
  • spec/ -- the MCMCpack specification.
  • talks/ -- various talks we have given about MCMCpack.
  • test/ -- various programs that test MCMCpack functions. This should be developed into a formal test suite, which all MCMCpack stable versions should be able to pass.
  • testMCMCpack/ -- test package written by Jong Hee Park and Steve Haptonstahl.
  • tmp/ -- temporary working directories for developers to store code on which they are working. Please keep your code in the subdirectory with the appropriate name. Sporadically clean up tmp/ as needed.
  • vignette/ -- vignettes for MCMCpack model functions. All data, the Sweave source, etc., should be stored here, and then merged into the MCMCpack release version.

[edit] Merging Changes

To merge changes from stable/ to devel/, this procedure seems to work:

  • svn commit all changes to stable/ and write down the revision # of the new checkin. Call this revision # n.
  • change to the local mcmcpack/devel/ directory and use the following command to see if the merge will work: 
 $ svn merge --dry-run -r (n-1):n http://svn.wustl.edu/mcmcpack/stable/
  • if this will work, then issue the command without the dry-run option: 
 $ svn merge -r (n-1):n http://svn.wustl.edu/mcmcpack/stable/
  • svn commit the changes to devel/ that were made by the above merge.

[edit] Current Status

CRAN Version: 0.9-3

Devel Version: 0.9-4

Version 0.9-3 was released on October 16, 2007.
