GitHub dependencies don't have version numbers #84

Open peterhurford opened 8 years ago

peterhurford commented 8 years ago

Why don't github dependencies have version numbers?

Installing dependency devtools from github
Installing dependency checkr from github
Installing mypackage 0.3.18.9017 from github

CRAN dependencies have version numbers:

Using dependency reshape2 1.4.1
Using dependency ggplot2 2.1.0

@peterhurford is this just an output issue as far as you're concerned. In relationship to our discussion of refs superceding versions which would you expect in the output (or do you expect both?)

@robertzk I hope you don't mind me diving in here and asking questions. I'm very impressed with your package and am likely going to start using it - I just want to get a solid sense of where the edges are and where I might be able to be of help.

Yes.

I think just the ref is fine.
