similar to: Why R should never move to git

This might be off topic, but if R-core development ever moves to git, I think it would make sense to have its own git service hosted by a university, rather than using github or gitlab. It is possible via https://gogs.io/ project. Just for the record. Best, -m

Yes, data.frame is not an S4 class but is(data.frame()) finds its super-classes anyway and without the need to wrap it in asS4(). And "list' is one of the super-classes. Then is(data.frame(), "list") contradicts this. I'm not asking for a workaround. I already have one with 'class2 %in% is(object)' as reported in my original post. 'is(asS4(object), class2)'

It is indeed a matter of what the developer is comfortable with and the one-stop solution provided by devtools is difficult to beat. This may also vary across projects. I use EMACS/ESS with and without roxygen2. In some cases EMACS/ESS+Org mode provides stunning benefits. Updating "usage" statements in Rd files was mentioned several times. Rdpack::reprompt() does this and more for

As a joke, it's funny.

In what way does reminding people that packages exist because others just like them contributed something count as being uncivil? Terse, perhaps, since it bypassed the obvious suggestion to use a search engine, but not rude. -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.

Dear List, According to datacamp support team, r-fiddle.org is not supported. We asked them to put it down as Professor Maechler suggested it is a waste of time for the R-help to respond to questions on something not maintained and severely outdated. If you would like to use R from your browser, you can embed the following into a web page: <script

There are many possible responses to the question "Is there a package to do X." Some that I can imagine are: * Yes, see package Y... * No, I am familiar with all 10000 packages and there isn't... * Silence (because no one who is paying attention is familiar with the one that exists) * Use a search engine... * You are a jerk because you did not use a search engine * Packages exist

Thanks I too wondered about the tone. The first suggestion was that I should "google it" and the second, write my own code. I think if I did I'd be reinventing the wheel, (and it'd be a big challenge for me). Also, I have been searching and not found such code, despite evidence that it has been coded (just not sure if it was in R). BTW I did write to authors of the article I

Hi Herve, Interesting observation with `setClass` but it is for S4. It looks like `data.frame()` is not an S4 class. > isS4(data.frame()) [1] FALSE And in your case this might help: > is(asS4(data.frame()), "list") [1] TRUE Looks like `is` is designed for S4 classes, I am not entirely sure.

I responded to the unhelpful suggestion "Why don't you implement and uplad the package to CRAN?" No mention of a search engine.

So if "list" is a super-class of "data.frame" (as
