In Siete-F/multiversion: Version Controlled Package Manager

R CMD check passed with no ERROR, WARNING or NOTE!!!

package waldo could not be found by only a single test: expect_equal(package.e::what_version_are_you(), '1.7.0') Rewrote it a bit, but made no further changes.

Removed .set_test_lib_location references within with_safe_package_tester constructs. These were not necessary.

R CMD check passed with no ERROR, WARNING or NOTE!!!

For CRAN, had to update the location where the tarballs are stored. Now they are downloaded from the github repository so that the tests will keep working. Downloading happens from a tagged commit in this repository so that we can change the tag that is referenced here in R/test_functions.R when we would like to download new data.

Removed the printing of "Failed copying files:" when all copying wend fine. It sounds a bit too alarming.

R CMD check passed with only the one expected Note!!!

See comments.md.

Updates: - Only a few minor changes were required for the package to pass for R4.1.2. - There are no functional changes, except for lib.install_tarball which can now install multiple tarballs at once. - (Added show_n_files internal function due to the changed behavior of summary which was used. Required one test to be updated.) - (Internal function unique_highest_package_versions was broken due to differences that were introduced to the which.max function. Fixed it.)

R CMD check passed with only the one expected Note!!!

Updates:

Rewrote lib.execute_using_package_list
library_VC, install.packages_VC_tarball, install.packages_VC, dependencies, installed.packages_VC, execute_with_packages are all depricated function names. All are renamed to lib. ... functions.
Renamed overwrite_this_package to allow_overwrite_on_convert for all lib.install... functions.
Improved how the 'packages_to_convert' input for lib.convert is handled.
Create tests which work with the with_safe_package_tester helper. This causes packages that are loaded during tests to be unloaded automatically.
Added lib.install_if_not_compatible() function to the lib.install... family.
Combined documentation for lib.install... functions.
Massively simplified the way package installation is working. It will now load all the latest versions of the different packages in the library and leave the remaining dependencies up to lib.install.
Tests also include a package installation test with tarball and CRAN package in test-tarball_installation.R.
Updated lib.set_libPaths so it can set the .libPaths to all the latest versions of the different packages.
Removed all the installation scripts altogether, just be careful when installing stuff, and use lib.execute_using_package_list if you want to install in a clean environment.
Updated detachAll to become more stable.
Added getOption('mv_prefer_within_major_version') to configure behavior when having to choose for major versions higher then the provided version.
Removed !interactive() for printing the decisions that are made during package loading. Also non-interactively you will now have to use the quietly = TRUE.
Added additional message during loading: Version %-7s is picked for package '%s'. This makes it much more clear when a choice had to be made between multiple packages, or if just one package was available.
Also updated message for '>' and '>=' package conditions, and included version specification (like > 5.0) so you can understand the decission better.
lib.load: added dot before .packNameVersionList and .skipDependencies variable names.
Renamed all mentions of VC library and R_VC_library to R_MV_library
lib.convert: renamed input variables to source_lib and destination_mv_lib.
lib.location: Added condition for when to message that glob. env. has been set. Now only when it is different and when interactive() it is printed.
Added trimws for version numbers that are provided. So now also lib.load(dplyr = ' >= 5.5 ') works.
