Add DESCRIPTION file #123

Closed zkamvar closed 8 years ago

zkamvar commented 8 years ago

This allows the NESCent repository to be seen as a package so that all of the dependencies can be installed. Inspiration comes from https://github.com/hadley/ggplot2-book

This will allow the users to have a consistent environment:

install.packages("devtools", repos = "https://cran.r-project.org")
# devtools::install_github("NESCent/popgenInfo")
devtools::install_github("zkamvar/popgenInfo@as-package")

Note that this will effectively bring all packages up to date for the user as devtools updates outdated dependencies by default.

Are there potential negative side effects of this too? Just for balance trying to come up with reasons as to why one would not want to do this. I can't come up with any, though, and not for lack of trying.

zkamvar commented 8 years ago

The only negative side effects I can think of is that it's one more list of packages to keep up-to-date. However, I don't see this as too much of an issue compared to the utility of having dependencies automatically installed.

I've made the changes. Ready to merge?
