[GenABEL-dev] [Genabel-commits] r716 - in pkg: DatABEL/R GenABEL/R

[Yurii Aulchenko]

Thank, Lennart, for addressing this bug.

To keep others informed: in GenABEL and DatABEL, at load time, R
contacts web-located file to check if the version is 'current'. If it
is 'current' only message saying version is produced; if not, warning
message is issued. Also there is a mechanism coded allowing us to send
advertisements at load time :) This web-info file is present in two
versions, main on RForge and fall-back on Amazon server hosting
www.genabel.org.

For the future, we should probably think how we can arrange this
across the packages; also version number comparison directly with CRAN
(feature request?). What I can also think of is making a separate
package / function which cross checks version in DESCRIPTION with
CRAN, and also allows 'advertisements'. This probably can be done
joining efforts with others, I remember there is a package addressing
somewhat similar issues... Would be fun to do, and really useful for
many other people!

Bw,
Yurii
