This is a re-submission:
- We have fixed the broken URL
- We have amended our package start-up messages to address the previous note
In this version, we have:
- Added an automatic configuration for interfacing with Python, to ease the setup for users
- Addressed dependency issues and deprecation warnings in corresponding Python code
- Added additional examples that showcase rMIDAS' core functions
- Added a new vignette for running rMIDAS in headless mode
- Updated existing vignettes
- Updated accompanying YAML file to work on all major operating systems (including Apple silicon hardware)
The previous note referred to our use of messages in .onLoad(), specifically that we use 'readLine' to ask users whether they would like the package to auto-configure Python requirements. All other messages were already wrapped in packageStartupMessage.
The startup messages are designed to cater to both novice and experienced users. For non-power users they provide essential information without being redundant. For power users they are essentially bypassed. Moreover, this approach differentiates between interactive and non-interactive sessions, preventing sessions hanging when run on display-less servers.
The only write-out operation is a simple 'y/n' text file, which is crucial for rMIDAS package’s functionality.
