Uninstall/removal instructions

[Alan O'Callaghan]

Hey, this works well generally, but I ran into some problems on a laptop that I couldn't really be bothered debugging. I think I got through the removal process semi-okay by trial and error but it would be good to have some explicit ones.

The steps I followed were:

1. remove.packages("bspm") or the system package r-cran-bspm
2. remove the bspm package folder from your library if 1. is not successful
3. remove bspm::enable() from your Rprofile.site
4. Remove the cran_apt listings from your sources, eg by rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cran_apt.list

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Sure. It's an apt repo. So you must remove the listing.

Sorry you were unable to debug. Nobody is helped by that.

[Alan O'Callaghan]

I mean it took me a while of trying to figure out why removing bspm and the apt listing wouldn't work, and I figured somebody with less of an idea where to look would be helped by some basic removal instructions, but I guess you're totally within your rights to be extremely curt and ignore this. Thanks anyways

We explain what r2u: an apt-accessible repository to provide you with binaries in .deb form for use by Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 installations using their system tools.

We explain that one can optionally use bspm to access these facilities from R via install.packages().

That's really all that there is. We don't say or promise more. If you have concrete proposal to improve documentation we are all ears. We do this as volunteers, along with a number of other activities around open source. So are resources are finite, and this may not be for anybody. Driving by and asking 'yo would be good to have docs' doesn't make it so either.
