./devel/R-pak, Another Approach to Package Installation

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.8.0nb3, Package name: R-pak-0.8.0nb3, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

The goal of 'pak' is to make package installation faster and more
reliable. In particular, it performs all HTTP operations in parallel,
so metadata resolution and package downloads are fast. Metadata and
package files are cached on the local disk as well. 'pak' has a
dependency solver, so it finds version conflicts before performing the
installation. This version of 'pak' supports CRAN, 'Bioconductor' and
'GitHub' packages as well.

(devel/R-pak) Updated 0.7.1 to 0.8.0

# pak 0.8.0

* `pkg_deps()` now accepts a vector of package names.

* The metadata cache now does not use source URLs for packages in `Archive`
  on Posit Package Manager repositories. This URLs may serve a different
  package, even a source package when the main URL for the same package
  serves a binary package. The alternative URLs are not needed on PPM,
  anyway, because PPM is in a consistent state w.r.t. metadata and
  package files (#623).

* pak now supports `gitlab::` package sources better, by adding
  explicit syntax to specify subdirectories \ 
(https://github.com/r-lib/pkgdepends/issues/353, @dgkf).

* `gitlab::` and `git::` package sources now support git submodules if
  the `git-submodules` configuration option is set to `TRUE`. See
  `?"pak-config"` (https://github.com/r-lib/pkgdepends/issues/354).

* The new `?ignore-unavailable` parameter makes it easy to ignore soft
  dependencies that are unavailable (#606).

* pak now automatically ignores soft dependencies that have an
  incompatible OS type (`OS_type` entry in `DESCRIPTION`) when installing
  packages.

* `repo_add()` and the `ppm_*()` functions, e.g. `ppm_snapshots()`, now
  work again after the PPM API changes
  (https://github.com/r-lib/pkgcache/issues/110,
   https://github.com/r-lib/pkgcache/issues/115).

# pak 0.7.2

* pak now supports using parameters for all packages with the
  `*=?<param>` form. E.g. `*=?source` installs all packages from source.

* pak now supports R 4.4.0 again, and also Rtools44.
