Make taxa recognized as R repository by GitHub Linguist #209

Closed Rekyt closed 3 years ago

Hello @zachary-foster :wave:

Thanks for the great tool :) I hope more people are going to develop other tools using taxa.

Description

When looking for R packages I matched taxa but realized it was tagged as HTML by GitHub's Linguist tool. This prevent to find the repo when using the language:R option in GitHub search.

The only HTML file found in the repo is in the notes/ folder. I thus tagged it as documentation through the .gitattributes file.

BTW, I noticed the taxa2 repository, is there a roadmap or a documentation that would explain the main (planned) differences with taxa?

Thanks!

Thanks! Much appreciated!

We are working on a complete rewrite of taxa. That was taxa2, but CRAN did not like there being two package versions at once, so we will replace the current taxa soon with a work-in-progress rewrite that the taxize package will use. The current version of taxa is has been reincorporated into metacoder, its one dependency, until the rewrite is finished. The main difference is new vectorized classes for taxa, taxon IDs, taxon ranks, etc. The taxmap class will be updated as well, but I don't think it will change much.

Alright! Thank you for the quick answer and for the clarification :)
