[R-pkg-devel] CRAN Packages over 5 MB & Time Length for Manual Inspection

[Ben Bolker]

   Out of curiosity, what was the recently added package?

   It looks like the previous version of your package from about a year 
ago is only a 1.2MB tarball.  Also out of curiosity, what caused the 
increase?

   cheers
