Dear R-package-devel,

I am updating package mvmesh that is on CRAN.  I would like to split that 
package into two parts, mvmesh (multivariate meshes/grids) and mvhist 
(multivariate histograms). Does CRAN have a policy/practice on this?   I did  a 
search, but found nothing on this.

I would do this in two steps:

  1.  Extract some of the functions in the current package into a new package.  
 Submit that package as mvhist and wait for approval.
  2.  Remove the extracted functions from the current package, and submit it 
with a new version number.
There is a short term problem that some functions would exist in two places 
during the time period it takes to do step 2.  After that, users who want to 
use the functions in mvhist will have install both packages.

I don't want to add work for the CRAN team, so please let me know if this is 
forbidden or there is a better way.

Thanks,  John
