Thanks for your guide! I've found it helpful for coming to grips with the package structure, but after reading it, it's not clear how to actually install my package. As far as I can gather R CMD install only works if you either are developing the package inside of the system library (is that safe?) or you have root permissions. Guessing how to do this from reading an obsolete manual for R CMD install on the web, I tried installing my package following:

Perhaps giving an example for this common use case would be worth including?

Karl,

really nice job on the primer. I am going to point a lot of people here.

Had a question about the use of Creative Commons for code. First, a caveat. I know very little about licensing packages. With that said, I have been using CC0 for my packages as of late. From what I have read it isn't technically a license, but a public domain declaration.

Are there any issues you are aware of with using CC0 for packages?

Cheers,
Jeff

The links stage0 through stage5 are invalid and should probably redirect to the correct folder.

My minimal R package won't install anymore. You need a NAMESPACE file.
