Any chance you could choose a better package name? Something that hints
at this being related to R. xts to me is the X Test Suite, which has

Hi,

r-cran-xts would fit existing naming scheme nicely.
The same scheme could be used for performanceanalytics as well.

All (newer) R CRAN package use the r-cran-$foo naming style. Please follow
suit here too.

I followed the naming scheme and renamed {xts,performanceanalytics} to
r-cran-{xts,performanceanalytics}.


Thanks,
