Dear all,
I am using the CRAN_package_db function to determine whether the head versions
of certain packages match those I need. The parallel package though, is missing
from the database:
pdb <- tools:::CRAN_package_db()
pdb[pdb$Package=="parallel",]["Package"]
[1] Package
<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)
Is this a bug that needs to be reported (where?) ? Or is there other reason for
this package to be missing from the database?
parallel is a base package. By definition, it is updated only when R is
updated. You can't install it from CRAN unless you install all of R.
