The odd bit is that I feel your "separation". When I became Canadian, I failed to / did not know about a "hey let us know" requirement as I was about to acquire another citizenship. So Berlin decided that was bad, and I was done. So now I have a German accent but no passport.

That makes you basically the mirror of my younger daughter. Three months in Toronto, the Ontario. Two years three months for her sister. So my gals ... are American-Canadians.

It's complicated. We've been in the US so long now that if we returned to Canada the taxman would still come after us. So we eventually relented, did the paperwork, and now eacj have two blue passports. Free options to move and all. It still think True North beckons one day...

The main "problem" as I see it is that we dispatch to apt, so we have to construct 'dated' index files for it -- instead of for R. Not insurmountable, but AFAIK not done before at least in the R context.

Disk space for hosting is surprisingly tiny: it is currently only 35gb (as we delete packages that are superceeded by a new version). Bandwidth should be tiny compared to what is offered otherwise, this part of campus also hosts a main CTAN (T, not R) mirror.

My #r2u got very lucky in that someone just plain wonderful from my college helped with a (small, as we do not keep history) VM, and ample bandwith is of course a given for @IllinoisStat so it reflects well on us. Your chance to build on top with a related service!

Go for it. Get some storage, get some bandwidth, and experiment with point-in-time overlay snapshots. I think @uri_sohn has some latent interest too (but is busy getting `groundhig` away from MRAN).
I will continue to focus on the apt-based repository.

Obligatory ad: If you happen to be on Ubuntu, consider #r2u for your #rstats needs.
All the packages from your screenshot (and all their dependencies, for a total of 118 deb packages) install in 25 (!!) seconds.

De rien! Ces jours ci, on a pas mal de choix entre differents articles historiques comme le suivant par le 'pere' de S et R dans une collection sur l'histoire des languages:

Voir la reponse dans le document officiel:
2.12 Why is R named R?
The name is partly based on the (first) names of the first two R authors (Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka), and partly a play on the name of the Bell Labs language ‘S’ (see What is S?).

I was traveling last week and did not see this. You would be well-advised to use the (friendly, low traffic) rcpp-devel mailing list, or use stackoverflow as tweeting, as you saw, has limits in who it reaches.
In short: use a package. Check and control compiler flags.

Home now, but this was taken this morning and only a few flight hours away though it feels further.
Excellent book, this one taken from Lisa's stack.

Can we assume @AchimZeileis convinced you to do more #rstats?

It's something else: A (brand-new) "R Collective" at StackOverflow. #rstats
