Just wanted to add another comment with respect to his point here:

I'd encourage you to consider using github as the place for
development, and sync to r-forge so users can install the devel
version by install.packages(..., repos =
'http://r-forge.r-project.org') and r-forge can also do R CMD
build/check for you once in a while.
Hadley's devtools package:
https://github.com/hadley/devtools

Has an install_github function which allows you to install a package
directly from github as well:

As one of perhaps several who recommended you try R-Forge, I will quote here something I read on this list: "Don't do as I say. Do as Hadley does." (I thought that was in a Fortune, but I can't find it now.)


I have not used github in this way but with synching to R-Forge, it sounds like a great way to have the best of both worlds.
