write_PACKAGES: Generate PACKAGES files

In saurfang/roxyPackage: Utilities to automate package builds

Description

Generate 'PACKAGES' and 'PACKAGES.gz' files for a repository of source or Mac/Windows binary packages. This directly calls write_PACKAGES.

Usage

write_PACKAGES(dir = ".", type = c("source", "mac.binary", "win.binary"),
  verbose = FALSE, subdirs = FALSE, latestOnly = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

dir	Character vector describing the location of the repository (directory including source or binary packages) to generate the 'PACKAGES' and 'PACKAGES.gz' files from and write them to.
type	Type of packages: currently source ‘.tar.gz’ archives, and Mac or Windows binary (‘.tgz’ or ‘.zip’, respectively) packages are supported. Defaults to "win.binary" on Windows and to "source" otherwise.
verbose	logical. Should packages be listed as they are processed?
subdirs	either logical (to indicate if subdirectories should be included, recursively) or a character vector of name of subdirectories to include.
latestOnly	logical: if multiple versions of a package are available should only the latest version be included? (archive.packages only works for source packages when latestOnly is FALSE)
...	additional arguments passed to write_PACKAGES

Details

In addition, it has the following enhancements:

1. Fetch files on Network Drive to tmp folder before producing INDEX
