[Rd] Is using devtools::release no longer allowed?

[Carl Boettiger]

Dirk, listeners,

Perhaps you would consider using omegahat's RHTMLForms instead?

    library("RHTMLForms")
    forms <- getHTMLFormDescription("http://xmpalantir.wu.ac.at/cransubmit/
")
    submit_to_cran <- createFunction(forms[[1]])

Should create a function called "submit_to_cran" with arguments
corresponding to the webform blanks, e.g.

submit_to_cran(name = "packagename", email = "youremail", uploaded_file =
"package.tar.gz", comment = "the optional comment")

(clearly you could fill those details in from the submitting package
description).  I haven't tested this.


Cheers,

Carl
