Dear list,

Can I use a character to set the name of a R package? like this (-)

for example (sdp-R)

Thanks,

John

I'm not sure, but would recommend not to.

Right, and "-" is not allowed (but used as a version number separator).

It took me 10 seconds to find out by creating a package "a-b" that does 
not R CMD build with a proper error message - reading the docs would 
also result in the same finding, but takes a minute or two.
