* Package name : r-cran-filehash Version : 2.3 Upstream Author : Roger D. Peng <rdp...@jhu.edu> * URL : http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/filehash * License : GPL Programming Lang: GNU R Description : GNU R simple key-value database This GNU R package implements a simple key-value style database where character string keys are associated with data values that are stored on the disk. A simple interface is provided for inserting, retrieving, and deleting data from the database. Utilities are provided that allow 'filehash' databases to be treated much like environments and lists are already used in R. These utilities are provided to encourage interactive and exploratory analysis on large datasets. Three different file formats for representing the database are currently available and new formats can easily be incorporated by third parties for use in the 'filehash' framework. Remark: This package is needed to run the unit tests of some R packages maintained by the Debian Med and Debian Science team. It will be maintained at svn://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/R/r-cran-filehash/trunk/
