update_packages: Update packages that are missing or out-of-date.

In remotes: R Package Installation from Remote Repositories, Including 'GitHub'

Update packages that are missing or out-of-date.

Description

Works similarly to utils::install.packages() but doesn't install packages that are already installed, and also upgrades out dated dependencies.

Usage

update_packages(
  packages = TRUE,
  dependencies = NA,
  upgrade = c("default", "ask", "always", "never"),
  force = FALSE,
  quiet = FALSE,
  build = TRUE,
  build_opts = c("--no-resave-data", "--no-manual", "--no-build-vignettes"),
  build_manual = FALSE,
  build_vignettes = FALSE,
  repos = getOption("repos"),
  type = getOption("pkgType"),
  ...
)

Arguments

packages	Character vector of packages to update.
dependencies	Which dependencies do you want to check? Can be a character vector (selecting from "Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo", "Suggests", or "Enhances"), or a logical vector. TRUE is shorthand for "Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo" and "Suggests". NA is shorthand for "Depends", "Imports" and "LinkingTo" and is the default. FALSE is shorthand for no dependencies (i.e. just check this package, not its dependencies). The value "soft" means the same as TRUE, "hard" means the same as NA. You can also specify dependencies from one or more additional fields, common ones include: Config/Needs/website - for dependencies used in building the pkgdown site. Config/Needs/coverage for dependencies used in calculating test coverage.
upgrade	Should package dependencies be upgraded? One of "default", "ask", "always", or "never". "default" respects the value of the R_REMOTES_UPGRADE environment variable if set, and falls back to "ask" if unset. "ask" prompts the user for which out of date packages to upgrade. For non-interactive sessions "ask" is equivalent to "always". TRUE and FALSE are also accepted and correspond to "always" and "never" respectively.
force	Deprecated, this argument has no effect.
quiet	If TRUE, suppress output.
build	If TRUE build the package before installing.
build_opts	Options to pass to ⁠R CMD build⁠, only used when build is TRUE.
build_manual	If FALSE, don't build PDF manual ('–no-manual').
build_vignettes	If FALSE, don't build package vignettes ('–no-build-vignettes').
repos	A character vector giving repositories to use.
type	Type of package to update.
...	Other arguments passed on to utils::install.packages().
