Utility functions that enhance the 'parallel' package and support
the built-in parallel backends of the 'future' package. For example,
availableCores() gives the number of CPU cores available to your R
process as given by the operating system, 'cgroups' and Linux
containers, R options, and environment variables, including those
set by job schedulers on high-performance compute clusters. If none
is set, it will fall back to parallel::detectCores(). Another example
is makeClusterPSOCK(), which is backward compatible with
parallel::makePSOCKcluster() while doing a better job in setting
up remote cluster workers without the need for configuring the
firewall to do port-forwarding to your local computer.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
