The posting guide appears to be ambiguous here. If anything, it said to me that R-help was the appropriate list, being The ‘main’ R mailing list, for discussion about problems and solutions using R to solve problems while Questions likely to prompt discussion unintelligible to non- programmers or topics that are too technical for R-help's audience should go to R-devel. I would have said that my bundle problem fell in the first category and not the second: I use the package management features of R to solve problems---and there's no C / C++ in the question. I was just in some confusion about the status of DESCRIPTION.in, which doesn't really count as "code development", IMO. Hence R-help. Can we make the "which list" section of the posting guide more explicit here? I have a similar dilemma for many posts. -- Robin Hankin Uncertainty Analyst National Oceanography Centre, Southampton European Way, Southampton SO14 3ZH, UK tel 023-8059-7743 ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
