* Package name : r-cran-foreach Version : 1.2.0-1 Upstream Author : REvolution Computing, Inc. * URL or Web page : http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/foreach/index.html * License : Apache License 2.0 Description : GNU R foreach looping support This package, just like r-cran-iterators, is used by r-cran-domc but also quite useful in its own right. For reference, the draft debian/control file is included below: Source: r-cran-foreach Section: gnu-r Priority: optional Maintainer: Dirk Eddelbuettel <e...@debian.org> Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.0), r-base-dev (>= 2.9.1), cdbs, r-cran-codetools, r-cran-iterators Standards-Version: 3.8.2 Homepage: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/foreach/index.html Package: r-cran-foreach Architecture: all Depends: r-base-core (>= 2.9.1), r-cran-codetools, r-cran-iterators Description: GNU R foreach looping support This package provides support for the foreach looping construct. Foreach is an idiom that allows for iterating over elements in a collection, without the use of an explicit loop counter. This package in particular is intended to be used for its return value, rather than for its side effects. In that sense, it is similar to the standard lapply function, but doesn't require the evaluation of a function. Using foreach without side effects also facilitates executing the loop in parallel.
