Git is nice - but if you ar looking for simplicity in usage for R packages, I guess r-forge and rforge are the easiest to use. But I would be interested in the workflow when using github as the main VCS. > > Of course, I could add one extra layer of directory structure (for > example, if a package foo sit in directory RPackages/foo I could > move it to directory RPackages/foo/foo and set the repository in > RPackages/foo) but this seems roundabout and inelegant... > > I'd be grateful for any suggestions/pointers. I might be missing something here, but I am using r-forge (http://r-forge.r-project.org/) for exactly that. There is also rforge (http://www.rforge.net/) and some packages are on github. My folder looks as follow: - -local name for the package (selected folders / fiiles under VC) +--pkg (under VC) +--www (under VC) +--other fiolders (not under VC) If a project gets registered at r-forge, you can check it out and you have all the relevant info in a README file - don't know about rforge.
