README.md: Make available on CRAN

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Issue

The CRAN package page https://cran.r-project.org/package=backports has no instructions on how to use backports. A package developer will look for either a vignette or a README, but there's nothing.

Suggestion

Remove

^README.md$

so that the README.md file is bundled with the tarball, so that it ends up on CRAN.
