Build a Package

Description

Builds a package considering the repository information, dependencies and already built packages.

Usage

buildPackage(pkg, tgt, debug = FALSE, verbose = FALSE, force = FALSE,
  xvfb = FALSE, suffix = ".1", debver = "1.", plusdfsg = FALSE,
  dryrun = FALSE)

buildAll(pkg, tgt, debug = FALSE, verbose = FALSE, force = FALSE,
  xvfb = FALSE)

topN(npkg, date = Sys.Date() - 1, from = 1L)

topNCompiled(npkg, date = Sys.Date() - 1, from = 1L)

nDeps(ndeps)

buildUpdatedPackages(tgt, debug = FALSE, verbose = FALSE, force = FALSE,
  xvfb = FALSE, bioc = FALSE)

Arguments

| | | |------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | pkg | character Name of the CRAN or BioConductor package to build | | tgt | character Name (or version) of the build target distribution, this is restricted to either “20.04” or “22.04” (or their names “focal” or “jammy”) | | debug | logical Optional value to show more debugging output, default is ‘FALSE’ | | verbose | logical Optional value show more verbose progress output, default is ‘FALSE’ | | force | logical Optional value to force package build from source, default is ‘FALSE’ | | xvfb | logical Optional value to build under xvfb-run, default is ‘FALSE’ | | suffix | character Optional value to override default package version suffix of ‘.1’ | | debver | character Optional value for beginning of Debian build version, default ‘1.’ | | plusdfsg | logical Optional switch whether “+dfsg” gets appended to usptream, default ‘FALSE’ | | dryrun | logical Optional value to skip actual package build step, default is ‘FALSE’ | | npkg | integer Number of packages to build | | date | Date Relevant date for cranlog download stats | | from | integer Optional applied as offset to npkg to shift the selection |

Details

The buildPackage function builds the given package. The buildAll package applies to all elements in the supplied vector of packages. The topN and topNCompiled helpers select ‘N’ among all (or all compiled) packages. The nDeps function builds packages with a given (adjusted) build-dependency count. The updatedPackages function finds a set of available packages that are not yet built.

Note that this build process is still somewhat tailored to the build setup use by the author and is not (yet ?) meant to be universally transferable. It should be with a little care and possible examination of the code. If interested, please get in touch.

Value

Nothing as the function is invoked for the side effect of building binary packages
