In gavinsimpson/permute: Functions for Generating Restricted Permutations of Data

Comments to CRAN for submission

Version 0.8-4

This is a minor maintenance release addressing two issues:

1. earlier versions of permute used testthat::library_if_available(), which is now defunct and removed from testthat, and
2. an example in permute used a data set from vegan and hence that package needed to be available when checking permute. This example was not conditional upon vegan being available, which caused problems on the OS X Snowleopard instance of CRAN's check/build farm.

Both issues are rectified in the 0.8-4 release.

Test Environments

• Linux, Fedora 19 & 20 (r-release & r-devel)
• Linux, Ubuntu 12.04, via Travis-CI (R 3.2.0)
• win-builder (r-release & r-devel)

R CMD check information

R CMD check produces only the following point of interest if tested against the current CRAN version of vegan. I have included in permute 0.8-4 reference materials for tests against the 2.3-0 version of vegan that Jari Oksanen, maintainer of that package, intends to release to CRAN this week.

* checking differences from ‘permute-Ex.Rout’ to ‘permute-Ex.Rout.save’ ... OK
