A new package pkgKitten
is now on CRAN in its infant version 0.1.0.
It does only one thing: create R packages that do not suck. Or at least not

package.skeleton() which
creates files which the very standard, and very recommended, R CMD check then complains
about. That is silly. Because each time R CMD check complains,
something bad happens to a kitten somewhere.
So pkgKitten offers
a wrapper function kitten() which creates neat little packages
which do not upset R CMD check.
A complete little demo is on the
pkgKitten webpage
which also has pointers to the
pkgKitten GitHub repo.
