Release v0.7

[landroni]

Currently it is not possible to install 'tikzDevice' from CRAN.

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tikzDevice/ :
"Package ‘tikzDevice’ was removed from the CRAN repository.

Formerly available versions can be obtained from the archive.

This package has been archived: the maintainer felt unable to provide an update fixing WARNINGs within reasonable amount of time."

install.packages( 'tikzDevice' )
Installing package(s) into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘tikzDevice’ is not available (for R version 2.15.2)

Is this expected?

Re-purposing to a general "get version 0.7 released" issue. Things that need to happen:

• Close out issues targeted at the 0.7 milestone.
• Sort out GitHub -> R-Forge bridge so pre-releases can be tested again.
• Ensure NEWS.md -> R NEWS conversion still works.
• QA Testing for OS X
• QA Testing for Linux
• QA Testing for Windows
• QA Testing for Solaris

(more will be added as issues pop up)

If you add the NAMESPACE file to the repo the devtools package should work.

#install.packages("devtools")
require("devtools")
install_github("RTikZDevice",username="Sharpie")

NAMESPACE is dynamically generated by ROxygen along with a bunch of other stuff.

Hi. I use RTikZDevice, and I'm a little concerned this very useful package may die. Is there anything that I (as someone who is software literate but not familar with the internals) can do to help with the 0.7 release? Specific recommendations/suggestions appreciated. Would issue 69 (fix failing tests) be something a user could help with?

What's wrong with it? I wanted to steal it :-)
