My 2 cents:<br>
<br>
Nobody gets to decide when something is dead; it's more a<br>
consensus<br>
view driven by everyone who uses or contributes. Looking<br>
back at the<br>
RcppTemplate archive, I think that characterization is pretty<br>
accurate:<br>
<a href="http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/cxxPack/Ancestry/" target="_blank">http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/cxxPack/Ancestry/</a>.<br>
A similar look at the most recent version of Rcpp shows<br>
that it's<br>
alive and well:<br>
<a href="http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Rcpp/" target="_blank">http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Rcpp/</a>.<br>
We should all be nothing but thankful that Dirk and Romain<br>
stepped in<br>
and contributed so much.<br>
<br>
You are mentioned in every Rcpp source file and in the package<br>
documentation. Beyond that, the old package was most<br>
definitely dead.<br>
<br>
<br>
All citations have date ranges: 2005-2006 (the "Rcpp Classic"<br>
era), and<br>
that<br>
is quite different from Nov 2009 (see previous discussion). The work<br>
that you are so<br>
grateful for occurred *after* Nov 2009, not before.<br>
<br>
I am also grateful for this work, Romain is obviously a talented<br>
programmer,<br>
and the support provided by Romain and Dirk is a valuable<br>
service, as I<br>
have said before.<br>
<br>
<br>
We cannot say the same about your service, unless we use a sarcasm<br>
scale.<br>
<br>
<br>
I wish I did not have to maintain cxxPack, much of it should be part<br>
of Rcpp,<br>
<br>
<br>
no way. get lost.<br>
<br>
<br>
but working cooperatively on this seems to be out of the<br>
question.<br>
<br>
<br>
We are very open for collaboration. Rcpp has now 4 developers, who<br>
have various interest. We are always listening to the mailing list<br>
and often implement things in response to a question on the maing<br>
list (for example sugar was community-trigerred, another example is<br>
code I commited today).<br>
<br>
We however have no (even remote) interest in collaborating with you<br>
or anyone who would be that repeatedly annoying. Developping Rcpp is<br>
a lot of work, it is also a lot of fun. Dealing with you is just a<br>
plain source of pain.<br>
<br>
<br>
Too bad Romain, as I think we could do good work together, but you are<br>
obviously<br>
under some kind of spell. If you change you mind you are welcome to work<br>
with me<br>
on cxxPack.<br>

<br>
Why on earth would I ever want to work with you ?<br>
<br>
I don't like your attitude, I don't like your code, your lack of respect for pretty much anyone but yourself, ... should I keep going ?<br></blockquote><div><br>I think I have shown a fair amount of respect for you, but that spell seems to make you blind.<br>

I've read your cxxPack vignette and there is nothing in there I find interesting, so even if someone else was doing it, I would not be interested in participating anyway.<br><font color="#888888">
