Curator role
The curator maintains the standards and lists of officially-sanctioned packages. The curator keeps all of the package versions synchronized. The curator might be the same person who fills the developer role.
The approval process for adding a packaging is up to your organization, and might vary from minimal to extensive, depending on your usual practices. Designate a developer familiar with open-source R and TERR packages to be the package curator. The package curator works with package developers and server administrators to perform the following mangement tasks.
- Maintains the list of tested and sanctioned package versions (the gold standard), which would be the set of packages available for general use under Spotfire applications.
- Ensures that the SPK containing the gold standard package versions are placed on the Spotfire Server, and then distributed to Spotfire analysts who develop visualizations that use them.
- Creates and manages the organization's in-house repository from where all users can install packages.
- Ensures that the gold standard package versions are uploaded to Spotfire Statistics Services for use by Spotfire web client users.
