Background:  The synapser R package embeds a copy of the Synapse Python client, automatically generating wrapper functions in R matching the Python command set.  When a new version of the Synapse Python client becomes available, we update the R package as follows:

...

1. Create a feature branch of the synapser GitHub repo, https://github.com/Sage-Bionetworks/synapser, branching from the 'develop' branch.
2. Visit https://pypi.python.org/pypi/synapseclient/ and click on the link to the latest version, e.g. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/synapseclient/1.7.5
3. Copy the link to the .tar.gz archive, e.g. https://pypi.python.org/packages/70/1d/f7af7571f00e248b6410241301f7add772d1afadc745d732545304bf7d41/synapseclient-1.7.5.tar.gz
4. In your feature branch edit inst/python/installPythonClient.py. 
   1. Change  packageName ="synapseclient-1.7.3" to match the version of the new Python client archive.
   2. Change urlPrefix ="https://pypi.python.org/packages/b0/73/89ff25d74e8cf342982bbbdc98ec724243f799ce1c4196181e106a5528bc/" to match the prefix of the URL found in step 3.
5. R CMD install .
6. run 'git status' and look for any files added, removed, or changed under the sub folder 'auto-man/'.   
   1. For any new files, copy them to man/, removing the five line header and editing as needed.
   2. For any removed files, delete the corresponding file under man/
   3. For any modified files, use 'git diff' to examine the changes and then modify the corresponding file under man/ as needed.
7. Build and load the package:
   1. R CMD install .
   2. R
   3. library(synapser)
8. Now use "help" or "?" to review any files modified under man/
9. When satisfied, 'git commit -am <feature branch>', then push to GitHub.
10. Follow the usual procedure for building/testing on all platforms, conducting a code review and releasing the package.
