I think the later is more clear to the package developers reading the WRE.

Hi,
On Writing R Extensions there is a footnote [6] about the "Date" field on

I think this is no longer up to date, as I've seen packages published on
CRAN without it.

Hi Colin,
I'm surprised this wasn't captured by the url checker on CRAN.
Are you suggesting a new check on package descriptions for the urls present?
In that case I guess it could be part of the standard R CMD check.

I appreciate your time considering this.

Dear list,
I'm trying to get some details from repositories with
available.packages. However, despite being included on the DESCRIPTION
files they are not available.

I am checking the cross references at CRAN and base R, and I am having
trouble understanding how to reconcile the documentation and how R
help links work.
Checking the documentation [1] it seems that in a cross reference such

Yes, I think that would be enough.
Thank you, Kurt!

Hi all,
I have recently been researching how available.packages and
install.packages filter packages from repositories with additional fields
in their PACKAGES file.
Currently there are some default filters, but users (and R admins) can set
up their own filters by passing a list to the fields arg
Many thanks Duncan,
I tried to look into the code but didn't manage to advance much due to some
java configuration issues.
To prevent being flooded by content of old versions I added a filter to

the content.
Maybe this wou

Thanks for this service! It is very helpful to know what is being developed.
I distribute the content to other venues and I noticed some times that the

For example, the sentence "‘is.R()’ is deprecated as no other S dialect is
known to be in use (and this could only id

Hi all,
I recently proposed a change in R that has led to the addition of new code
to the R source code.
The code added, as far as I know, has no tests and it might affect many
packages in CRAN.
I was wondering if adding a test would be helpful or it is already covered
by some other test.
Which b

Nice idea! I have encountered this problem several times, while probably a

solution.
How would this proposal handle arguments mask.ok, include.only and exclude?
