[datatable-help] data.table has moved to GitHub

[Arunkumar Srinivasan]

Hello Gene,
Yes, you can continue to post questions on the mailing list, of course. Especially, questions on design changes, proposing design changes - where you'd like to hear from the entire list, or simply question on "how to do this in a data.table way / is there a better way" etc, as this is a place to connect to all data.table users subscribed over the mailing list. 

Although, there is a "label" on github named "question", which I'm not quite sure of the use, yet. I suspect, it is mostly for developers to communicate to each other when they're not entirely sure of where it falls or if it's a good feature etc..? We'll know soon enough :).

Arun

I was post about a question. Do questions now go to an address on github rather than datatable-help at lists.r-forge.r-project.org, or should we use something else for discussion  / questions?

Dear all,

Arun has done an amazing job in transferring everything from R-Forge to GitHub. This includes the full commit history and outstanding bug and feature requests.

    https://github.com/Rdatatable/datatable/

To install the latest version from now on it's :

    devtools:::install_github("datatable", "Rdatatable")

As you may have noticed R-Forge has been stuck in building state for several days now, so you wouldn't have been able to install v1.9.3 from there anyway.  Arun has integrated with Travis which gives us the package build and check environment.  Windows users will need to install Rtools because install_github() compiles from source,  but that is straightforward we believe.  We may be able to add building and checking of a compiled .zip for Windows in future.  If you're a Windows user please let us know how you get on with Rtools and devtools::install_github().

GitHub should make it easier for you to contribute :  just edit the file within the github website and then press "Propose file change". Project members will then review and accept the change.

Public access to the bug and feature request trackers on R-Forge is now turned off.  Please use GitHub from now on.  Comments couldn't be transferred to GitHub but we can still see them on R-Forge.  If you raised an issue on R-Forge you may still get automatic emails from R-Forge as we close them down.

Thanks,
Matt
