The canonical form [1] of an R package Makefile includes the
following:
- The first stanza includes R_PKGNAME, R_PKGVER, PKGREVISION (as
needed), and CATEGORIES.
- HOMEPAGE is not present but defined in math/R/Makefile.extension to
refer to the CRAN web page describing the package. Other relevant
web pages are often linked from there via the URL field.
This updates all current R packages to this form, which will make
regular updates _much_ easier, especially using pkgtools/R2pkg.

Each R package should include ../../math/R/Makefile.extension, which also
defines MASTER_SITES. Consequently, it is redundant for the individual
packages to do the same. Package-specific definitions also prevent
redefining MASTER_SITES in a single common place.
Upstream changes:
CHANGES IN formatR VERSION 1.4
NEW FEATURES
o `tidy_source()` can preserve line breaks in character strings in source code
MAJOR CHANGES
o the deprecated functions tidy.source(), tidy.dir(), and tidy.eval() have
been removed; use tidy_source(), tidy_dir() and tidy_eval() instead
o comments that begin with `#+` or `#-` are no longer wrapped; such comments
are treated as knitr chunk options in `knitr::spin()` (#52)
BUG FIXES
o `tidy_source()` should not write an extra space to the last line of code
(thanks, @mr-karan, #49)
o long strings (> 1000 characters) in source code can be preserved now
(thanks, @jholtman, #50)
o `tidy_source()` might move any lines of code starting with `else` back to
the previous lines (thanks, @Auburngrads, #51)
Upstream changes:
CHANGES IN formatR VERSION 1.3
NEW FEATURES
o `tidy_source()` can deal with multibyte characters that cannot represented
in the system native encoding now (on Windows)
o `usage()` works for functions obtained from `::` or `:::` now, e.g.
`usage(formatR::tidy_source)`
CHANGES IN formatR VERSION 1.2
MAJOR CHANGES
o the minimal required R version is 3.0.2 now
CHANGES IN formatR VERSION 1.1
NEW FEATURES
o added a new argument `output` to usage()
BUG FIXES
o fixedyihui/knitr#918: when code is NULL, parse() will hang (with a question
mark waiting for input)
This package provides a function tidy_source() to format R source
code. Spaces and indent will be added to the code automatically, and
comments will be preserved under certain conditions, so that R code
will be more human-readable and tidy. There is also a Shiny app as a
user interface in this package (see tidy_app()).
Note: this commit is part of reorganizing some of the recently
imported R packages, which are being reimported into more appropriate
categories (and removed from math) as a result of a recent discussion
on tech-pkg and privately with wiz@. See the thread starting with:
