README 

        
			R-Forge SVN README



This file explains the repository structure of your project. A more

detailed guide to R-Forge is available by 

Theußl and Zeileis (2010) [1] and the R-Forge Administration and 

Development Team (2009) [2].



1. Introduction

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

R is free software distributed under a GNU-style copyleft. R-Forge is

a central platform for the development of R packages, R-related 

software and further projects. Among many other web-based features it 

provides facilities for collaborative source code management via 

Subversion (SVN) [3].



2. The directory you're in

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the repository of your project. It contains two important

pre-defined directories namely 'pkg' and 'www'. These directories must 

not be deleted otherwise R-Forge's core functionality will not be 

available (i.e., daily checking and building of your package or the 

project websites).

'pkg' and 'www' are standardized and therefore are going to be

described in this README. The rest of your repository can be used as

you like.



3. 'pkg' directory

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

To make use of the package building and checking feature the package 

source code has to be put into the 'pkg' directory of your repository 

(i.e., 'pkg/DESCRIPTION', 'pkg/R', 'pkg/man', etc.) or, alternatively,

a subdirectory of 'pkg'. The latter structure allows for having more 

than one package in a single project, e.g., if a project consists of 

the packages foo and bar then the source code will be located in 

'pkg/foo' and 'pkg/bar', respectively.



R-Forge automatically examines the 'pkg' directory of every repository 

and builds the package sources as well as the package binaries on a

daily basis for Mac OS X and Windows (if applicable). The package builds

are provided in the 'R Packages' tab for download or can be installed

directly in R from a CRAN-style repository using 

'install.packages("foo", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")'. 

Furthermore, in the 'R Packages' tab developers can examine logs 

generated on different platforms by the build and check process.



4. 'www' directory

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Developers may present their project on a subdomain of R-Forge, e.g.,

'http://foo.R-Forge.R-project.org', or via a link to an external

website.



This directory contains the project homepage which gets updated hourly

on R-Forge, so please take into consideration that it will not be 

available right after you commit your changes or additions. 



5. Help
