Dear all,
my apologies for a dull question. I think I do understand that unnoticed
Internet access requires scrutiny and a more explicit approach.
But I am not sure how this would impact on the practice on many Windows
machines to download static libraries from one of the rwinlib repositories?
See https://github.com/rwinlib, an approach taken by quite a few packages
(src/Makevars.win triggers tools/winlibs.R for downloading a static
library).
I am asking because a package I maintain (RcppCWB) uses the approach, and
am not sure whether and how the discussion has addressed this scenario. It
may not be covered by I?akis initial three scenario?
