Alright.

Yes, this looks like a very nice way of creating documentation, indeed. But in fact, we should not bring that dependency into the release (otherwise, the rkwardtests-package will not even install, unless the user already has roxygen installed). What exactly do you need to do in order to generate the .Rd pages? Perhaps we could come up with a nifty script that adds the roxygen-dependency, generates the man pages, and removes the roxygen-dependency, again. We could then add that to scripts/makedist.sh. > for the package, i split the original framework R file into one long file > with stuff that is used internally only (and not documented), and one R > file for each class, method or function that needs to be exported. the > latter already have basic documentation in roxygen style. perhaps you > could check if i made the right decisions on that behalf so far.

Yes, that makes sense. Some wishlist items: - Add an "append"-parameter to rktest.makeplugintests(), to make it append to an existing outfile (FALSE by default) - Add an optional parameter to run only the specified tests (given by their id) of a suite (would also have to be added to rktest.runRKTestSuite(), of course). This would often come in handy during test development. Regards Thomas
