Hello, All:
What changes are being considered / planned in the management and
funding of CRAN and R-Forge to handle the near-exponential growth in the
number of packages?
I ask, because the developers for fda were asked to cut the test
time on CRAN to below 5 seconds per *.Rd file. After spending a few
days on this, we reluctantly eliminated tests using if(!CRAN()){...} in
the \examples. Restricting test times and similar changes will keep the
current system running a little longer, but would not seem to be
adequate long term.
Thanks,
Spencer
