rupdate: Update packages

In rdatsci/rt: R Tools for the Command Line

Description

Update packages. This includes multiple steps:

• 1.All outdated CRAN packages will be updated.

• 2.New packages from getConfigPath("packages") will be installed.

• 3.Non-CRAN packages will be updated.

• 4.If rebuild is set to TRUE, all packages which are built under a different R version will be rebuilt with the current.

The collection file getConfigPath("packages") expects one package per line specified in a format which is parseable by stringToPackage. Leading and trailing whitespace characters will automatically be trimmed. Empty lines and lines starting with a “#” will be ignored.

Usage

rupdate(rebuild = FALSE, neverupgrade = FALSE, savemode = FALSE)

Arguments

rebuild	[logical(1)] Rebuild R packages which are built using a different version of R.
neverupgrade	[codelogical(1)] Passed to update_packages as upgrade = ifelse(neverupgrade, "never", "always"). Default is “FALSE” so all dependencies are upgraded.
savemode	[codelogical(1)] Works slower but should handle most conflicts. Might be helpful after R-Version update or if packages are removed from CRAN.

Value

Invisibly returns TRUE on success.
