In petermeissner/dratful: Convenience wrapper for 'drat' and 'devtools'

Convenience wrapper for 'drat' and 'devtools'

Version

0.1.6

Description

Building packages with 'devtools' is easy. Publishing packages with 'drat' is easy too. Combining both is two lines of code too much - hence 'dratful' - drat at it's fullest. The package aims at making the check-build-publish workflow a super easy one-liner - E.g. 'dratful::dratful()' will build, check, commit and push source and binary packages if all checks were passed any without error or warning. Use 'dratful::drat()' for leaving Git handling out.

Installation

(stable) developement versions:

install.packages(
  "dratful",
  repos = 
    c(
      options("repos")$repos, 
      "https://petermeissner.github.io/drat/"
    )
)

Putting packages into your repository (your own CRAN, your drat, ...)

The following will:

• check the package using devtools::check()
• then (if no errors and warnings were produced) build it into a temporary directory using devtools::build()
• then insert it into the drat repo (defaults to ~/git/drat) using drat::insertPackage()

dratful::dratful()

If less defaults and more fine control is needed check_build_publish() is a version of drat that allows to manipulate options for all three wrapped up fucntions.

Getting packages from a drat repository

While you can install packages from drat repositories as shown in the install section (using the repos option of install.packages()) or add repositories by using drat::addRepo() the dratful package offers an alternative way in line with devtools' install functions.

The following snippet showcases install_drat which takes a package name and a Github user name to use a Github hosted package repository as additional source for packages:

dratful::install_drat("dratful", "petermeissner")
