Create a package

[rathko]

This package looks great, would it be possible to create a package instead of sourcing the files?

[rathko]

I just noticed the file make.sit.pkg.r. Will play around this, unfortunately it works only on Windows

[systematicinvestor]

It is work in progress. Here is an example of running SIT

###############################################################################

RCurl installation - work on all platforms

###############################################################################
library(RCurl)
writeBin(getBinaryURL('http://www.systematicportfolio.com/SIT.tar.gz', followlocation = TRUE, ssl.verifypeer = FALSE), 'sit')
install.packages('sit', repos = NULL, type='source')

###############################################################################

To use SIT:

###############################################################################
library(SIT)

###############################################################################

Example Usage:

###############################################################################

Run plota test

SIT:::plota.test()

It's fairly easy to create a package. All you have to do is create two files in your main folder (on the same level where "R" folder is):
"DESCRIPTION", for example:
Package: SIT
Type: Package
Title: Systematic Investor Toolbox
Version: 1.0.0
Date: 2012-10-12
Author: Michael Kapler
Maintainer: [email protected]
Description: SIT
Depends: R(>= 2.9.2)
License: What license is it under?
LazyLoad: yes

And "NAMESPACE":
exportPattern("^[[:alpha:]]+")

Then to install it under R it's enough to run (where SIT is where the git code is checked out into):
R CMD INSTALL SIT

I saw your pkg folder. I don' t know why you need this duplicate folder of R, instead of maitaining the package directly.

Good suggestion.
I will remove the duplicate folder.
Just too busy. Don't have time to trace your code.

Thanks for your message.

I second the suggestion of removing the duplicate R folders. I just did a compare on them and there are only a couple of files that are different.

I don't actually want to use your code directly (although it looks pretty cool and I've already learned a couple of things from it) but I am using your project as an example of good organization!
