[Rd] Package manpage DCF hooks
Was looking at what was output for -package.Rd and wondered if any there was any means (via macro, etc) to merge some of the same information with a template for my package manpage? As much (all?) of the generated information was already provided in the DESCRIPTION, I'd prefer not to have to update the information in multiple places. I'm thinking here that I could provide a template file "-package.Rd.in" and during build, the DCF information could be substituted appropriately and "-package.Rd" would be output. see also: promptPackage method -- SIGSIG -- signature too long (core dumped) __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
Re: [Rd] Package manpage DCF hooks
What I do is make my whatever-package.Rd page be the central page where one can get a list of all the other places one can look for info (rather than placing the info itself there).

[Rd] optimized BLAS
As a few of you will know, Dr Goto's BLAS is now available again (http://www.tacc.utexas.edu/resources/software/software.php), but only for academic use and only for Linux (at least in binary form, and source-code licenses are not yet available). http://www.netlib.org/lapack pointed me to AMD's ACML (http://www.amd.com/acml). This has a less restrictive licence, and seems at least as fast as the Goto BLAS - it is also a full optimized LAPACK. What does seem a bit confused is all the references to AMD64, when they also supply 32-bit non-SSE2 and even non-SSE versions (and there are no such versions of AMD64 to my knowledge). It runs on my Athlon XP systems, and even under Windows. I've added comments in R-admin.texi and Windows support, in both R-patched and R-devel. -- Brian D.

[Rd] typo in as.POSIXlt.Rd (PR#8309)
While reading ?as.POSIXlt a possible typo caught my eye.
The "diff -u" output based on R-devel downloaded today
vs. a suggested change is below.
Thank you,

That gives me some additional ideas but still think being able to display DCF information and public function listing would be a nice thing to have. For example, 'dyn-package.Rd' repeats its DCF description. -- SIGSIG -- signature too long (core dumped) __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
