@eddelbuettel @hadleywickham @craigcitro I wish @wercker would fix the permission issue, using rocker containers as base is _so_ much faster

@eddelbuettel My email/twitter just exploded. Oh, Dirk said very nice things about me in a blog post. Thank you.

@eddelbuettel Container + cache can also be very fast for Travis. I've asked them to whitelist quite a few pkgs.

@eddelbuettel why not just use ./travis-tool.sh r_binary_install for the R packages? (then you don't have to remember the name remapping)
