Dominick,
My 2 cents:
Nobody gets to decide when something is dead; it's more a
consensus
view driven by everyone who uses or contributes. Looking
back at the
RcppTemplate archive, I think that characterization is pretty
accurate:
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/cxxPack/Ancestry/.
A similar look at the most recent version of Rcpp shows
that it's
alive and well:
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Rcpp/.
We should all be nothing but thankful that Dirk and Romain
stepped in
and contributed so much.
You are mentioned in every Rcpp source file and in the package
documentation. Beyond that, the old package was most
definitely dead.
All citations have date ranges: 2005-2006 (the "Rcpp Classic"
era), and
that
is quite different from Nov 2009 (see previous discussion). The work
that you are so
grateful for occurred *after* Nov 2009, not before.
I am also grateful for this work, Romain is obviously a talented
programmer,
and the support provided by Romain and Dirk is a valuable
service, as I
have said before.
We cannot say the same about your service, unless we use a sarcasm
scale.
I wish I did not have to maintain cxxPack, much of it should be part
of Rcpp,
no way. get lost.
but working cooperatively on this seems to be out of the
question.
We are very open for collaboration. Rcpp has now 4 developers, who
have various interest. We are always listening to the mailing list
and often implement things in response to a question on the maing
list (for example sugar was community-trigerred, another example is
code I commited today).
We however have no (even remote) interest in collaborating with you
or anyone who would be that repeatedly annoying. Developping Rcpp is
a lot of work, it is also a lot of fun. Dealing with you is just a
plain source of pain.
Too bad Romain, as I think we could do good work together, but you are
obviously
under some kind of spell. If you change you mind you are welcome to work
with me
on cxxPack.
Why on earth would I ever want to work with you ?
I don't like your attitude, I don't like your code, your lack of respect
for pretty much anyone but yourself, ... should I keep going ?
I've read your cxxPack vignette and there is nothing in there I find
interesting, so even if someone else was doing it, I would not be
interested in participating anyway.
Romain
