true, but the overhead of *publishing* all our packages there would be enormous. right now we can package and publish everything ourselves. if we were using CRAN, every single package would need to go through the CRAN review, and they usually find some little detail they don't like (half of the time it has nothing to do with the actual package quality, more like "we don't want it, don't do it"). then you need to repackage and resubmit, again wait for the review, and they'll find something else (like a README file they don't understand, so they want you to remove it)... sometimes that's great quality control for actual R packages, but we don't even ship R code. i can imagine what the reply would be to our initial submission ;-) i think it would be impossible to have a package like rkwarddev on CRAN, because it uses functions from the rkward package, which in turn is not on CRAN (hence their buildbots would fail). i highly doubt that the CRAN maintainers would allow rkward to be published there, nor what it would imply for users running older versions of RKWard if they upgrade to the newest rkward package. 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
