I definitely agree with you, as far of distributing R code is concerned, an R package is ideal. I no longer think that an R package is the right distribution vessel for a header only C++ library. > If you choose some other mechanism, then I suspect that any developer > problems you eliminate will just return as system administration > problems. I understand that. The way Rcpp11 is structured, the developer will have the choice between: - using the codebase from Rcpp11, whatever version that is, by just doing a LinkingTo: Rcpp11. - snapshot Rcpp11 into their package. I will not enforce one or the other. People will have the choice of which problem they’d rather have. With Rcpp, there is no such choice.
