[R-pkg-devel] Questions about making a database package (Rpolyhedra)

| Hi Alejandro,
| 
| Brooke Anderson gave a nice talk at useR!2017 addressing this exact issue.
| See
| https://schd.ws/hosted_files/user2017/19/anderson-eddelbuettel-use_r_talk.pdf
| for
| the slides. The basic idea is to use an external CRAN-like repository for
| the data back-end. Brooke used 'drat' to set up such a repo.

Thanks for the kind wordds. We also turned this fun project into an R Journal
paper with more background and details:
