Thanks for the suggestion! That's what we are doing in R_Overlay, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Science/Overlay It is available via layman. It has an eclass very similar to your proposal. https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/R_Overlay/blob/master/eclass/R-packages.eclass The R_Overlay is automatically generated from CRAN and BIOC. Cheers, Benda
