Hi Stephen,

Some of us have been building packages for longer than either the book or RStudio existed. The canonical reference is still WRE. FWIW I distilled (short) command-line wrappers off it too, so I use build.r # create a tar.gz rcc.r # check the tar.gz (using rcmdcheck::rcmdcheck) check.r # check the tar.gz (more like R CMD check) install.r # install it and so on _all the time_ often in a bash shell / tmux session. The command are also all callable from Emacs/ESS as commands and e.g. I always do compile-command (i.e. C-x C-c, then calling render.r) to process markdown. For package building many other people also use devtools; I understand that is now integrated with ESS and would be new to me too. There are (as always) many ways to go about this. | completely undocumented menus like (Select package for evaluation) not | mentioned on the official ESS page: | https://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ess.html | I am willing to help and donate time if you can start with such an | online book. AFAIK nobody promised a book. We suggest(ed) and still work on a series of *short* and *focused* intros to topics. The current list is at http://collabedit.com/537yq Package building is but one topic, but it would be great if you could help with this. | Cheers, really happy this may be happening. Yes. Let's see if we can pull this off.
