My 2 cents:<br>
<br>
Nobody gets to decide when something is dead; it's more a consensus<br>
view driven by everyone who uses or contributes. Looking 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 that it's<br>
alive and well: <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 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 definitely dead.<br>
<br>
<br>
All citations have date ranges: 2005-2006 (the "Rcpp Classic" 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 programmer,<br>
and the support provided by Romain and Dirk is a valuable service, as I<br>
have said before.<br>

<br>
We cannot say the same about your service, unless we use a sarcasm scale.<div class="im"><br>

I wish I did not have to maintain cxxPack, much of it should be part<br>
of Rcpp,<br>

no way. get lost.<div class="im"><br>

but working cooperatively on this seems to be out of the<br>
question.<br>

We are very open for collaboration. Rcpp has now 4 developers, who have various interest. We are always listening to the mailing list and often implement things in response to a question on the maing list (for example sugar was community-trigerred, another example is code I commited today).<br>
<br>
We however have no (even remote) interest in collaborating with you or anyone who would be that repeatedly annoying. Developping Rcpp is a lot of work, it is also a lot of fun. Dealing with you is just a plain source of pain.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Too bad Romain, as I think we could do good work together, but you are obviously<br>under some kind of spell. If you change you mind you are welcome to work with me <br>on cxxPack.<br><br></div></div>
