[Rd] formal process for orphaning a package

2016-09-21 Thread Max Kuhn
The CRAN policy page (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html) implies that there is a formal procedure for orphaning a package but none is mentioned in the Extensions manual (https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.html). This page (https://cran.r-project.org/src/contr

I've had a lot of requests for additions to the reproducible research task view that fall into a grey area (to me at least). For example, roxygen2 is a tool that broadly enable reproducibility but I see it more as a tool for better programming. I'm about to check in a new version of the task view

I've been updating a package and, when installing a local devel version, I get an error "object 'confusionMatrix' not found whilst loading namespace". Looking around online, it appears that this might be related to loading a specific RData file, but it doesn't seem to be the case AFAICT. I've inst
