Dear sir Louca,

I read about your R package called castor and consider using it over ape: ape has no GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket repository and they refuse to do so. I find this rudely inconsiderate to the user for multiple reasons.

Sadly, castor does not have such a site either.

Do you consider putting castor on a proper website?

Cheers, Richel Bilderbeek

Hi Richel,

what's wrong with: install.packages("castor", repos="http://cran.r-project.org")

And would you not call this a decent website: http://www.loucalab.com/archive/castor

Rudely inconsiderate is getting a free lunch and then complaining that one did not get desert as well. In the face of temporal budget constraints we all choose to allocate our resource wisely. I prefer spending those 10 extra hours (which I would spend in total trying to maintain two copies of the same package) by instead adding another functionality to castor for those users that appreciate it.

Regards. Stilianos

Hi Stilianos,

Great to see you do have a website for castor (but it was missing from the CRAN descrption though).

OK, enjoy doing what you do.

Cheers, Richel
