## This will allow you to use dplyr functions with Bioconductor's
## S4Vectors::DataFrame class. They simply call "as.data.frame" on
## DataFrame objects and then pass them to the methods for
## "data.frame". Note that this entails conversion of S4 vector
## columns to primitive vectors. No attempt is made to convert the
## results back to DataFrame, since such a conversion would not
## restore S4 vector columns that were converted to primitive vectors.

Conda Proposal: namespaces

Motivation

We would like to position Conda as a language-agnostic package manager, but at present it maintains a distinct bias towards Python. Given its origins this was expected and, frankly, reasonable. Nevertheless, as we begin to use it to subsume other packaging ecosystems, such as CRAN, NPM, Ruby Gems, etc., we are going to want to overcome this history; and one key challenge is to address naming conflicts across platforms.

#
#  Install via `conda` directly.
#  This will fail to install all
#  dependencies. If one fails,
#  all dependencies will fail to install.

What are MD5 files good for anyway?

I recently contributed to Siegfried Köstlmeier's qrandom package and overlooked to update the package MD5 file. That got me thinking - these files are actually not mentioned in Writing R Extensions, and they are not mentioned in Hadley Wickham's R Packages either. We find them in the wild - but I did not find an explicit source regarding their format. In fact, there is a puzzled post from 2016 by Matthew Lueder on Stack Overflow "What is the MD5 file in R packages used for? How is it generated?" ... and the sole answer on the page misunderstood the question.
