clear: Clear packages and temporary files from repo build process

In GRANBase: Creating Continuously Integrated Package Repositories from Manifests

Description

These are convenience functions which clears the intermediate files generated during the build process. This is important when, e.g., building a repository for the first time with a new version of R.

Usage

clear_temp_files(repo, checkout = FALSE, logs = FALSE)

clear_repo(repo, all = TRUE, checkout = FALSE, archivedir = NA)

Arguments

repo	GRANRepository - The repository to clean
checkout	logical - Should the checkouts of packages also be cleared. Generally this is not necessary (default: FALSE)
logs	logical - should the logs (check, install, and single package) be cleared (default: FALSE)
all	logical - Should temporary artifacts from the build process also be cleared (via automatically calling clear_temp_files). Defaults to TRUE
archivedir	character - Optional. A directory where build packages deployed to the repository will be archived. Package versions already in the archive will not be overwritten.

Details

clear_repo removes packages deployed into the destination repository, updates the PACKAGES and PACKAGES.gz files, and resets the build results within the GRANRepository object. clear_temp_files clears intermediate files from the library location used during building, the temporary repository, the package staging area, and the store of install- and check-results.

Value

The GRANRepository object, ready to be rebuilt.

Note

It is not advised to clear the logs in a direct call to clear_temp_files. use clear_repo instead.
