[GenABEL-dev] Why is doRUnit.R removed from the final package?

Hi Yurii,

I see Andreas already contacted you before I noticed his commit.

I quickly checked a few packages on CRAN and I'm not sure about what the
results mean:
- Rcpp: has doRunit.R
- MASS: has tests, but no doRUnit.R (maybe not using RUnit?)
- ggplot2: has tests, but no doRUnit.R (maybe not using RUnit?)
- HMisc: has tests, but no doRUnit.R (maybe not using RUnit?)

As far as I can see the "Writing R Extensions" manual doesn't mention
anything about doRUnit.R specifically.

I guess you meant "add" instead of "address"? If so, then no, that
wasn't my idea. Andreas is one of the main forces behind the Debian Med
team, which focusses on making Debian packages for Medical/Life Sciences
software. I don't think he is interested in participating in the
development of GenABEL specifically (but we could ask).


Lennart.
