While we are on the subject of terminology, it is important to remember that Rcpp is a C++ library, and this is often confused with Rcpp the package. I changed the package name to limit confusion on this point, but the package name was changed back to Rcpp for the "fork" (or "branch", not sure what

2010-12-02 Thread Dirk Eddelbuettel
There are repeated claims concerning a "Rcpp fork". Let's address both terms in turn. i) Rcpp was used in November 2008 as the name for a re-launch of a package which had seen releases on CRAN in 2005/2006 during which it was also renamed to RcppTemplate. Hence no package of name Rcpp h

Your original question is predicated on the notion that people are "disseminating misleading information about" you, with this phrase: "a small portion of the code is based on code written during 2005 and 2006 by Dominick Samperi". While it may be difficult to qualify contributions to a joint proj
