A set of tools providing the complete R-Forge build/check environment. Works on every major platform as we use platform independend R code.

build_packages (email,
		platform     = c("Linux", "Windows", "MacOSX"),
                architecture = c("x86_32", "x86_64"),
                rforge_url   = "http://R-Forge.R-project.org",
                cran_url     = "http://CRAN.R-project.org",
                bioc_url     = "http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc",
                control      = list())

`path_to_pkg_log`	Specifies the path where the log files are written to.
`path_to_pkg_root`	Specifies the path where the built packages are copied to.
`path_to_local_texmf`	Path to the local texmf tree.
`path_to_local_library`	The temporary R packages library.
`stoplist`	The path to the stoplist

## First setup the control file

control <- R_Forge_control("/path/to/R/pkgs", 
                           "/path/to/R/logs/R-patched",
                           "/path/to/R/R-Forge",
                           "/usr/local/share/texmf",
                           "/path/to/local_lib",
                           "/path/to/stoplist",
                           system("hostname -f", intern = TRUE),
                           "mailhost.domain.org"
)
