r4ss (version 1.15)

update_r4ss_files: Updates r4ss files to newest versions on web.

Description

Sources files containing R functions r4ss package from the google code repository. These may often be newer than those available form CRAN mirrors. It is probably wise to run this function every time you load the r4ss library.

Usage

update_r4ss_files(local = NULL, save = FALSE, revision = "newest")

Arguments

local

A local directory from which to source the files instead of getting them from the web.

save

If TRUE, then copy files from web to local directory, then source from this same local directory

revision

Either "newest" (the default), or an optional revision number of the files to source. These numbers are found within the list of changes to the r4ss code at http://code.google.com/p/r4ss/source/list. If you're using an out-of-d
