SH_misc package? #8

Closed HedvigS closed 1 year ago

HedvigS commented 1 year ago

@skalyan91 would you want to have an r-package on cran with me called something like "SH_misc" (Siva Hedvig miscellaneous functions)?

There are several things you and I do in a similar way, and it'd be good to have a package on CRAN for some of it.

I'd be comfortable with something that's just misc.

suggestion for inclusions:

skalyan91 commented 1 year ago

I love the idea! But I’m not sure if CRAN would allow a package that doesn’t have a single, coherent purpose.

Another option would be to have a package on GitHub that can be installed with devtools::install_github(). Maybe it would be good to start with this approach in any case?

skalyan91 commented 1 year ago

Also, is this a reference to Hmisc ;)? In fact, that is the closest parallel I can think of to what you’re proposing.

HedvigS commented 1 year ago

yeah i've seen different something_misc packages.

Let's look at CRAN guidelines.

HedvigS commented 1 year ago

I can see

"A package’s contribution has to be non-trivial."

skalyan91 commented 1 year ago

Yes, I saw that. Also, “publication-quality”.

HedvigS commented 1 year ago

well, let's maybe start with a github thing and then see if we wanna go to cran later. Sound okay?

skalyan91 commented 1 year ago

Yes! We can also decide later if we want to split our package into more focused packages that are better candidates for CRAN submission.

HedvigS commented 1 year ago

Yup!

Once #7 is solved, maybe we can move to merging south_up and CLarbor as a start?
