A bug in r-cran-permute. In Google-speak, 'CRAN lives at HEAD'. The top of its release repo (ie the CRAN mirrors) is what we would call a release and guaranteed to work across package. So one has to keep the repo consistent and current. Some maintainers here tend not to do that; it is then there a problem in their packages.

These are not mine. I consider these to be ill-designed out of possible unfamiliarity with the R ecosystem. I don't know. I do not enable them in my r-cran-* packages. If this stuff breaks for someone else, "they get to keep the pieces". Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | [email protected]
