Update package name per CRAN request

[gothub]

Per CRAN request, the package name will be updated to 'dpack' or 'datapack'.

@mbjones, which one do you prefer?

Downstream packages will have to be updated as well, and tickets will be entered for

• dataone
• recordr

[mbjones]

I guess I prefer datapack, but Kurt expressed a preference for dpack, so that might be smoother sailing. Your thoughts?

[gothub]

@mbjones I also prefer datapack as it is clearer and easier to remember. So if lobbying for this name is worth another round of emails, I think it is worth it. If you think it's not worth another round of emails, then I'm willing to concede to using dpack.

[mbjones]

CRAN seems amenable to either. So, let's try 'datapack' and see if we can get that through. We'll have to contact ropensci about renaming the repo.

[gothub]

The branch 'datapack' contains the package name changes. These changes do not include an updated ropensci repo directory. The repo references could be updated in a patch release, after CRAN accepts the initial release.

[mbjones]

I would prefer if we include the new directory name, as we don't want the original URLs floating around if we can avoid it.

[gothub]

@mbjones @cboettig ok, so the repo name should get changed before re-submission to CRAN. Who at rOpenSci will change the repo dir name to 'datapack'? Yes, because this is the package name that CRAN will accept, it would be confusing to have a different name for the repo dir.

Can do, just say when

@sbpcs59 just give the word. I believe after the change GitHub will also redirect from the previous repo name for a while anyway. Will change repo name when you give the word.

[gothub]

@cboettig thx, we are ready for the repo name change

[cboettig]

done

[gothub]

@cboettig @mbjones the package name changes are currently in the 'datapack' branch. Should those be merged to 'master' now, or when a similar branch is available in downstream packages, for example dataone? When the changes are on master, dataone users won't be able to pull from github until they install the updated dataone package that uses the datapack package name.

[mbjones]

Go ahead and merge the branch, and let's get the similar needed changes into DataONE today. Should all be fast because its a simple substitution in a dozen or so files.

[gothub]

Package name changes merged to master in commit 1edbdf6343d884c8971757f775464c35b3d048d3. The dataone package has been updated as well.

Note that class names (e.g. "DataPackage") and terminology in documentation has not been changed, as that was not requested by CRAN, just the package name change was requested.

[mbjones]

@sbpcs59 great
