Conda r skeleton helpers (for conda-forge)

Please use this script to create recipes for R packages on CRAN that follow the conventions used by the conda-forge project. It runs conda skeleton cran and then cleans up the result. Please mention in your Pull Request to staged-recipes that you used the helper script to expedite the review process. Also, please only submit one recipe per Pull Request.

Installation

You will need conda and conda-build 2 installed. To install conda-build 2 instead of 3, specify the conda-forge channel.

conda install -c conda-forge conda-build

1. Put the package name(s) in packages.txt in the form of r-foobar
