[R-pkg-devel] Working with R-devel

2018-01-23 Thread Dirk Eddelbuettel
I am going in circles here and have lost my way. I used to have means to build R-devel (still do) and use it for local testing (no longer do). - Fresh build of R-devel - One entry in .libPaths() - I can install Rcpp, it ends up in that .libPaths() - I can load - With the _exact same settings

Re: [R-pkg-devel] CRAN and packages bundling third party C/C++ code

2018-01-23 Thread Kevin Ushey

Re: [R-pkg-devel] [Rd] How to address the following: CRAN packages not using Suggests conditionally
