Subject: [Wishlist] a 'PackageDevelopment' Task View
Hello everybody,
as a young/unexperienced R package developer (only a few, mainly
for personal use) i was thinking it could be very useful having a
"meta" task view for all package-development related
packages and/or function.
Something like ...
Creation
- utils::package.skeleton, pkgKitten, Rcpp::Rcpp.package.skeleton
Foreign languages interfaces:
- Rcpp
Documentation
- roxygen2
Profiling:
- utils::Rprof
- profr
- proftools
Unit test
- RUnit
- testthat
Spell checking
- tools::aspell_package_* functions
"Misc":
- devtools
and so on.
These are only the ones i (use or know) & (remember), but for
sure there is already a lot of useful code in this area and
having a summary (by more experienced developers) of which good
tools are available would be *very* useful, IMHO.
How about it?
Thanks, Luca
