In rappster/reposr: Local Package Repository Management

library("reposr")

Typical workflow

Specifiy root directory

We will use the following directory as our local CRAN-like package repoitory:

root <- file.path(tempdir(), "cran")

Create instance

repo <- PackageRepository$new(root)

Create/ensure repository

repo$ensure()

Verify existence

repo$exists()

Register as R option

(getOption("repos"))
repo$register()
(getOption("repos"))

Browse content

repo$browse()

Built into

repo$buildInto()

Investigate

Show content based on index file:

repo$show()
repo$show(type = "source")
repo$show(type = "mac.binary")
repo$show(type = "win.binary")

Check if specific package(s) exist(s):

repo$has()
repo$has(type = "source", atomic = FALSE)
repo$has(c("devtools", "dplyr"))

Maintain

Remove outdated packages and refresh. Outdated packages are moved to an special repository archive repo$root_atomic.

Each outdated package build will be integrated into its own "one-package-only" repository: file.path(repo$root_atomic, "<pkg_name>", "<pgk_version>")

repo$clean()

Remove packages:

repo$remove()
repo$remove("<pkg_name>")

Reset entire repository:

repo$reset()

Delete

repo$exists()
repo$delete()
repo$exists()
