pkgKitten: Create packages that purr

The base R function package.skeleton() is very useful for creating new packages for R. It is also very upsetting as it has been producing the same files which trigger R CMD check in the exact same way.

And as something terrible happens each time R CMD check barks, this package offers a wrapper function kitten() which leaves an adorable little package behind which does not upset R CMD check.

So just think of the kittens.

Installation

The package is on CRAN and can be installed via a standard

install.packages("pkgKitten")

Documentation

Package documentation, help pages, and more is also available here.

Argument to avoid generating hello* files

When writing a script based on kitten to generate a package one typically wants to delete the hello* files that it generates and that involves extra steps. Would be desirable to have an argument that avoids generating them.

kitten(hello = FALSE)

Demo stops on windows machine

Hi,

just tried the package, and it stops.

specify R script(s)

An argument that allows one to specify the names(s) of R script(s) to get the functions from would be useful for converting a script to a package.

library(pkgKitten)
library(devtools)

kitten("myPackage", author = "me", script = "myScript.R")
setwd("myPackage")
build()
install()

library(myPackage)
