Hi all,
I am checking the cross references at CRAN and base R, and I am having
trouble understanding how to reconcile the documentation and how R
help links work.
Checking the documentation [1] it seems that in a cross reference such
as \link[pkg:x]{text} x should be a topic (created with \alias{

Thank you, Kurt!

Hi all,
I have recently been researching how available.packages and
install.packages filter packages from repositories with additional fields
in their PACKAGES file.

Hi all,
I recently proposed a change in R that has led to the addition of new code
to the R source code.
The code added, as far as I know, has no tests and it might affect many

better management of libraries could avoided the issue this is an elegant
solution.
How would this proposal handle arguments mask.ok, include.only and exclude?
For example, in the (edge) case two packages expor
