In ErdaradunGaztea/woodendesc: Find Packages and Their Dependencies in Any 'R' Repository

knitr::opts_chunk$set(
  collapse = TRUE,
  comment = "#>"
)
library(woodendesc)

Other than all the explicitly supported repositories (CRAN, Bioconductor, etc.), locally set up repositories can also be analysed using {woodendesc}. The requirement is they must contain the PACKAGES file (or PACKAGES.gz, its compressed counterpart) under /src/contrib path; the file should effectively be a concatenation of relevant attributes from all DESCRIPTION files of the packages the repository contains.

Packages

To list all available packages the user should use wood_url_packages().

wood_url_packages("https://colinfay.me")

Available package version

The structure of PACKAGES file allows only one version to be stored, so wood_url_version() may only return this one version.

wood_url_version("dockerfiler", repository = "https://colinfay.me")

Package dependencies

The PACKAGES file is supposed to contain dependency data as well.

wood_url_dependencies("tidystringdist", repository = "https://colinfay.me")
