G-CRAN weekly report #9

[Auke Booij-2]

It works, my job here is done.
Oh, except for:
-documentation (this is one i basically *need* to do)
-outputting real, physical instead of the symlinks i'm doing right now
-generate ebuild cache
-test loads and loads and loads of packages (help wanted)

Again, quickly a guide to use my project:
-Install layman from the kuroo overlay and g-cran from the science overlay
-Save the attached repositories.xml to /var/lib or whatever
-Add file:///var/lib/repositories.xml to "overlays" in /etc/layman/layman.cfg
-layman -a CRAN (or the two bioconductor repositories, which are in
repositories.xml as well)
-emerge -av dev-R/zoo (just one of the many packages in CRAN)

I spent some time helping wiktor prepare g-pear for g-common too, so
keep track of his work if you're interested in PEAR.

Have fun!

I'll try and get round to testing this over the next week or so (busy
at work at the moment though, and making the most of the dry weather
to get out climbing which leaves little time for computing).

Thanks for your efforts on this, really nice to be able to install
CRAN packages etc. through portage.

Cheers

Neil
