buildr

Resolve package dependency issues in R environment over computers for your target packages.

What is the buildr

This source code is a package for R based on miniCRAN and devtools. It is intended for resolving dependency issues over multiple computers in enterprise level. The name is originated from build-essential.

What do I need

All dependencies of buildr will be installed by using devtools::install_github('zedoul/buildr'), which means you need to have a computer that has R and the Internet connection. There is no CRAN version of buildr yet.

In short,

Why do I need this

Imagine a scenario where we face a condition that working with more than one computer connected to each other except the Internet due to a security issue. Even some of computer cannot access each other, so therefore handling package dependency is not an easy problem. In this setting, for example, adding a new package can take more time than just typing install.packages. This package allows you to create a private repository consists of your package and its dependencies.
