That reminds me: I once made a suggestion on how to automate some of the CRAN deployment process, but it was shot down as not being useful to them. I do recall a quote that was along the lines of "as long as you don't need help, do whatever you want", so one thought is to just set up a build ser

I've been watching this thread closely and trying not to chime in, because as Brian Rowe mentioned about CRAN's mysterious absence in a previous reply. CRAN is like a ghost in r-devel (or any other mailing lists) -- everybody is discussing about it, and nobody has ever seen it. Perhaps one day useR

Something that might be of use to you guys is crant (https://github.com/muxspace/crant), which is a set of scripts to make package development and testing simpler. With crant you can build out multiple R instances (release, patch, devel) and then run the build chain against each one. It's compa

It would appear that commits no longer trigger emails; for Rcpp at least we are two commits (made earlier today) ahead of what was emailed. Maybe the mail agent needs to be restarted? Many thanks for taking care of r-forge. It is appreciated. Dirk -- Dirk Eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org | ht
