hi, i've now changed my R packages klausuR and koRpus to include the respective RKWard plugins directly, residing in the directory 'inst/rkward'. not so much because it makes real sense since you can't use the plugins at all without the packages, but mostly because it's much easier to maintain and keep them in sync (altough both need some updates now).
of course it's still possible to pack them as seperate plugins. but i was wondering if it wouldn't be worth a thought to make this the recommended way to manage external packages, even if you don't put any additional R stuff in the package. i mean, why not simply have R's packaging system manage RKWard's add-ons as well? it souldn't be too hard to let RKWard scan (newly installed) packages for 'rkward' subdirectories with pluginmaps, maybe use a special 'src/Makefile' target to add pluginmaps automatically somewhere (which should even work in plain R), or even still leave it to GHNS. all it takes to successfully build and install a new R package seems to be a valid DESCRIPTION file. add 'inst/rkward/yourPlugin' to it, and you're done. it wouldn't really make things harder for anyone. viele grüße :: m.eik -- dipl. psych. meik michalke institut f"ur experimentelle psychologie abt. f"ur diagnostik und differentielle psychologie heinrich-heine-universit"at d-40204 d"usseldorf
