Ramiro Magno<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rstats</span></a>: Is there any write-up about meta-packages, e.g. tidyverse? When/why create them? How does that play out with CRAN? Is there any other convenient approach to group packages for installation and/or coordinated development?</p>
Anatoly Tsyplenkov<p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rstats</span></a> folks, what’s the best way to structure a project that includes a Rust crate (core) along with R and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>python</span></a> bindings? Currently, I’m considering maintaining three separate repos: `project-core`, `project-r`, and `project-py`. However, are there any good examples of organising everything in a single repository :rust_ferris: :rstats: :python: ? Maybe <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@josi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>josi</span></a></span> has seen anything?</p>
