Hi there.
I'm one of the unlucky souls using Windows 10. My woes are exemplified if I try to install the package {classifly} from https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/all/latest. It seems when I do this that RStudio picks up {Rcpp} and {plyr} from Windows binaries, but then needs to install {classifly} from source. Which needs RTools. Why does packagemanager.rstudio.com have {classifly} as a source package, when CRAN has it in Windows binary?
