Wiki Version:
The R package roxyPackage significantly simplifies the process of packaging your R code. Although it is common practice in the scientific community to share solutions in the form of R scripts, there are several advantages of providing a proper R package instead: It can include unit tests, declare dependencies on other packages, come with standardised documentation, and automatic updates are possible, to name but a few. The drawback of packaging is that it takes more time and effort to manually set up the correct directory structure and write all necessary metadata files. roxyPackage automatises this entire workflow; not only does it generate all needed directories and files automatically, it is also capable of maintaining a fully functional, CRAN-like repository for your packages. It uses the roxygen2 package for generating documentation and supports building source packages as well as binary packages for Windows, Mac OS X and Debian GNU/Linux.
