1 Hi everyone,
2
3 == Brief summary of this project ==
4
5 This project is a continuation of last year's project, "Automatically
6 generated overlay of R packages". Its aims are extending overlay
7 creation and, more importantly, automated overlay maintenance.
8
9 For reference, the roverlay git repo can be found at [0], which also
10 provides some documentation [1].

13 == progress from Aug 28 to Sep 4 ==
14
15 * added handling of file collisions (package files that exist in more
16 than one repo, not necessarily with the same content)
17 * improved dependency resolution: dependencies on other packages are
18 looked up in the package's repo first (=search for dependencies of
19 CRAN packages in CRAN first)

22 == Plans for this week ==
23
24 I'm currently working on some minor tasks, e.g. pushing the overlay
25 (/the overlay's changes) automatically to a git repo and cleaning up
26 roverlay's ebuild.
