In clarkfitzg/makeParallel: Transform Serial R Code into Parallel R Code

This is a re-submission for the new package 'makeParallel', now on version 0.1.1. I have incorporated the feedback kindly provided by Swetlana Herbrandt on July 30th, 2018. See responses inline below.

Thank you, Clark Fitzgerald

Thanks,

makeParallel("script.R")

cannot run: cannot open file 'script.R': No such file or directory

Please add such a file in your package.

Fixed.

Please ensure that your functions do not write by default or in your examples/vignettes/tests in the user's home filespace. That is not allow by CRAN policies. Please only write/save files if the user has specified a directory. In your examples/vignettes/tests you can write to tempdir().

Please fix and resubmit.

Best, Swetlana Herbrandt

I changed the default arguments so that none of the functions write to files by default. The two offending functions were 'writeCode' and 'makeParallel'. Now the user must explicitly supply the 'file' argument to write to a file. I verified that all of the examples/vignettes/tests only write to temporary files or into temporary directories, and then remove these once they are finished. I clarified this behavior in the documentation and vignette titled 'quickstart'.

Test environments

• ubuntu 16.04 local (R 3.4.4)
• ubuntu 14.04 travis-ci (R devel and release)
• win-builder (R devel and release)

R CMD check results

There were no ERRORs or WARNINGs.

This is the first submission of this package to CRAN, so there is a NOTE.
