Prepare for release:

• [ ] Create gh-pre-release branch
• [ ] devtools::install()
• Update packages:

  update.packages()
  remove.packages(fgeo:::fgeo_packages())
  fgeo.install::install_fgeo()

• Check fgeo packages locally (assuming they are not on CRAN)

  pkgs <- paste0("fgeo", c(".tool", ".analyze", ".plot", ".krig", ".misc", ""))
  vet::vet(pkgs, devtools::check)

• [ ] devtools::check_win_devel()
• [ ] rhub::check_for_cran()
• [ ] Polish NEWS
• [ ] pkgdown::build_site()
• [ ] Tidy commits
• [ ] Merge into master branch

Perform release:

• [ ] Create gh-release branch

• [ ] devtools::check_win_devel() (again!)
• [ ] Merge into master
• [ ] Tag release on GitHub and copy-paste NEWS.md

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("forestgeo/fgeo.FIXME-PACKAGE-NAME@*release")

* [ ] `pkgdown::build_site()`
* [ ] Merge back into master
* [ ] In DESCRIPTION of all upstream dependencies add/ensure `forestgeo/fgeo.pkg/@*release`
