Is there any interest in launching a pkgdown site for this package? I am willing to implement this.

[bbolker]

That would be fine. I'll take an initial crack at this and hand it over to you if I run into trouble/give up.

[jpiaskowski]

Excellent, thank you!

[bbolker]

I'm going to leave this open until it's done ...

[bbolker]

Partly working.

• no GitHub actions machinery yet
• vignette missing
• README photo duplicated/maybe not working yet?

[jpiaskowski]

I'm going to leave this open until it's done ...

Ah, sorry about that!

I can take a look at it tomorrow.

I'm running into trouble with "glmmADMB" - it will not install (see failed run). Any idea what is going on with that?

[bbolker]

glmmADMB is only available via a drat repository (listed in the DESCRIPTION file).

This works for me locally:

install.packages("glmmADMB", repos = c(getOption("repos")["CRAN"], "https://bbolker.github.io/drat"))

(might need to add type = "source", hard-code the CRAN repo if it's not specified, etc.)

Does that give you enough info to add the machinery to GH actions?

[jpiaskowski]

No that works locally, but it doesn't solve the gh action, but I think I found the solution.

[jpiaskowski]

I solved the glmm ADMB issue (by telling the workflow to ignore it), but now having another mystery issue with the build. I've asked the Rstudio community for help

[bbolker]

No clue. I guess the v2 version of the actions is fairly new and may still have rough edges ... ?? Thanks for working on this ...

[jpiaskowski]

I think this is the problem, which gives me some ideas on how to proceed.

[bbolker]

seems like pak is a little flaky these days ...

[jpiaskowski]

I'm taking a bit of a break from this because the documentation is frustratingly slim and the help a bit terse. I'll come back to it (and maybe by then, the bug will be fixed). Nevertheless, thanks for the getting the documentation site up and running; it's helpful to be able to browse the functions so easily.
