Hi all,
I'm a developer for the CoGAPS package (https://github.com/FertigLab/CoGAPS).
I'm looking into ways to build our core C++ code as a standalone application
and I would like to be able to maintain a single repository for the C++ code
and pull that into both repositories for the R package and standalone
application. It seems the easiest way to do this would be to have a git
submodule in the R package repository that refers to the C++ code. However,
based on this comment
(https://github.com/Bioconductor/Contributions/issues/459#issuecomment-376671397)
it seems that is not the desired configuration.
The best alternative I can think of would be to provide a separate library for
our core algorithm and then link against that in both the R package and
standalone version. In this case, we would have to provide instructions for
downloading and building the library - which seems like more work for the end
user than if everything was included with a submodule.
I'm wondering if the first approach using a submodule would be possible, and if
not, has anyone ran into this issue before and found a nice solution.
Thanks,
Tom
