[Rd] sma installation error

[Henrik Bengtsson]

The sma package is deprecated since many years...

...however, by request from collaborators last year, I recompiled it
to fix that error you are mention (see below).  I just added a
namespace (required in R 2.14.0).  You can download it from:

  http://braju.com/R/repos/sma_0.5.17.tar.gz
  http://braju.com/R/repos/sma_0.5.17.zip

It pass R CMD check without ERRORs but there are heaps of WARNINGs.
It comes with all possible disclaimers, including that you're on your
own trying to get the package to work.  I will *not* help you/anyone
troubleshoot etc - I'm not using it myself and I'm just making it
available as is.

Package: sma
============

Version: 0.5.17 [2011-11-30]
o Added a namespace.
o Compressed example data using 'R CMD build --resave-data'.

Version: 0.5.16 [2010-12-03]
o PARSE ERROR: A '#' was incorrectly escaped as '\#' in a string.
o The sma package is no longer supported/maintained.  The last
  official release was v0.5.15 in Nov 2005, cf.
  http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/sma/.
  The only reason for v0.5.16 is so that it can be used by
  users who still use the aroma package.

Version: 0.5.15 [2005-11--16]
o See http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/sma/
