publish package on CRAN or conda

[hechth]

It would be great for people to have this package also available via one of the conda channels such as bioconda or conda-forge to reach a wider audience. This would also be the first step required to make the tool available via Galaxy. To get the package published on CRAN, follow those guidelines. Note that having the package published on CRAN is not strictly necessary to get it into conda.

If this package is already on CRAN, it will be easy to create the conda recipe via grayskull to contribute it to conda-forge or bioconda. As soon as the package is published via conda, it is quite straightforward to put it into Galaxy. I'm happy to help and contribute during the process, feel free to list me under the maintainers of the bioconda package together with one of the original package developers and to request me as a reviewer for the PRs.

For contributing Galaxy tools, there are training materials and guidelines available here and the tool should be deposited here. Please feel free to reach out to me via email or otherwise if you need any help!

Hey there!

Yes, I'd love to get this tool CRAN ready. We are in a lapse in funding for this project, so it might be a couple months, but I'm happy to do this. I will ping you here when we've got it up on CRAN.

Thanks, David

@David-Degnan I see you are working on the CRAN part - I started looking into condafication, as it can be done also without the package having to be on CRAN - so maybe it is easier to start with that.

I will be getting this package up on bioconductor, after I get pspecterlib up there. Hoping to accomplish this task this month
