Things to consider doing on the server

These tests should be more robust than those on CRAN obviously.

r cmd check
incorporate checks already done on CRAN?
force run examples
force run tests
force run vignettes
check downstream pkgs install and check fine
check reverse dependencies
as a separate longer term thing could test package x with all versions of its dependencies, not just current versions, so if user wants to use ver 1.2 of pkg y, we know id its compatible or not with pkg x

@revodavid @cmosetick Is this something that we should work on this week, or something you want to think about down the road?

revodavid commented 10 years ago

Probably too big a chunk for this week. Focus on the RRT package (and its docs)

sckott commented 10 years ago

Okay

@sckott Can you please comment how much of the ambition of this issue is addressed by the travis-bi integration we have?

sckott commented 10 years ago

Hi @revodavid - Travis-CI is a different issue. Travis-CI is for testing the RRT package, which is important indeed.

I started this issue to discuss testing R packages on the MRAN/Marmoset/etc. server. Sort of like CRAN is doing for all packages on its servers.

@cmosetick @revodavid I wonder if this issue should be moved to the MRAN repo https://github.com/RevolutionAnalytics/MRAN since it deals with server stuff only, not RRT package?
