I do use subclassing as you suggest. In my base package I have an az_resource

extend it to obtain az_vm_resource; in the storage package I extend it to
obtain az_storage; and so on. In addition to sim

This looks like a similar situation to the C++ Boost headers, which are

Just a few comments:
- Given vioplot 0.2 is 12 years old, I wouldn't be TOO concerned with backward
compatibility. I wouldn't ignore it either, but if I had to choose, I'd go for
modern idioms over ensuring that everything works exactly the same.

It looks like the ".rdata" in your package name is confusing R CMD BUILD into
thinking there is a .rdata file involved. Consider renaming it to "bcmaps.data"
or something similar.

The various devtools::install_* functions don't install vignettes by default;
to do so, add the build_vignettes=TRUE argument.

Don't want to turn this into a pile-on, but I also think this isn't a very good
idea. As I understand it, accessing the symbol "foo" will pull the latest
version of foo from the remote site. This has consequences for reproducibility,

I had a similar experience with a couple of my package updates needing changes.
The background is that I have a family of packages for talking to Microsoft's
Azure cloud service from R, and my examples are all marked \dontrun because
they need an Azure subscription to work.

I don’t think they check _every_ help page for examples. My assumption would be
that if the main functionality of the package is covered, then functions that
are clearly ancillary, or whose usage is obvious, get a pass.
Another reason for cloud-related packages to mark thin
Hm, up to now my AzureR packages haven't met with any issues, and they are

I did have one reviewer ask for runnable examples when I submitted one package,

Hi all,
I'm the new (as of 6 months ago) maintainer of checkpoint. If you're not
familiar with it, checkpoint is a package to help with reproducible analysis:
you give it a particular snapshot date from the MRAN site, and it installs the
packages that your project depends on from that snapshot.
Good catch, Ivan! Fixing that seems to have done the trick. Thanks!
The question now is why checkpoint hasn't crashed and burned prior to this, but
I'll leave that for another day

I echo this. Relying on something undocumented and platform-specific, like the
location of a random installation file, is just asking for problems. Instead,
make a small image of your own and distribute it with your package.

In the last couple of weeks, devtools::build() and devtools::check() have

But the question is why are these ignored directories scanned before building
the package? They should be ignored anyway?

Hello all,
I'm refreshing the docs for my SAR package ( https://github.com/hongooi73/SAR

The package contains 2 example data frames, 'ms_catalog' and 'ms_usage'. Here
is the relevant documentation for them, in the file R/ms_data.R:

Another possibility, if you want the jar to be dynamic and also have a standard
location for it, is to write it to the R config/user dir. This is available via
R_user_dir() in R 4.0 (and earlier versions via the backports package). An
older alternative that still works is to use the rappdirs pac

I set \dontrun{} on (most of) the examples in my Azure-related packages, for
this very reason. They assume the user has an Azure subscription, and in any

My personal opinion is that as long as a package doesn't actually make it on to
