You're looking for some revision control system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control It's not specific to R, CRAN, or anything else. I'd recommend using git or mercurial: http://git-scm.com/ http://mercurial.selenic.com/ simply because you don't have to setup any "server component" to get it to work (with subversion or CVS, you do need to setup a "server component"), and all of the revision history is just kept in the same directory as your project .. you can, of course, push your changes out to another cpu/server if you please for extra backup. CVS and subversion are other options -- if you find them easier to use, then feel free to use those. There are plenty of tutorials online for each to help you get started. -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology | Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center | Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
