util: Set directory for remote database

In rdpeng/stashr: A Set of Tools for Administering SHared Repositories

Description

Utilities for "localDB" and "remoteDB" databases

Usage

setDir(db) <- value
copyDB(db, ...)
reposVersion(db, ...)
reposVersion(db) <- value

## S4 method for signature 'localDB'
initialize(.Object, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'remoteDB'
initialize(.Object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'localDB'
copyDB(db, dir, ...)

Arguments

db	an object of class "remoteDB" or "localDB"
value	character, directory to be assigned
.Object	an object of class "localDB" or "remoteDB"
dir	directory into which the "localDB" should be copied
...	other arguments passed to methods

Details

Users obtaining "remoteDB" objects created on different machines may want to reset the directory specified for the local cache. The setDir replacement function is to be used for that purpose.

Users generally will not call the initialize functions directly, but rather will call them indirectly via the new function.

copyDB is used to copy a "localDB" database to another location (i.e. directory).

reposVersion returns the current repository version number and the replacement method can be used to set the repository to a different version number. A repository version of -1 indicates the most recent version.
