buildPackage

Build a Package

Description

Builds a package considering the repository information, dependencies and already built packages.

Usage

buildPackage(pkg, tgt, debug = FALSE, verbose = FALSE, force = FALSE,
  xvfb = FALSE, suffix = ".1", debver = "1.", plusdfsg = FALSE,
  dryrun = FALSE)

buildAll(pkg, tgt, debug = FALSE, verbose = FALSE, force = FALSE,
  xvfb = FALSE)

topN(npkg, date = Sys.Date() - 1, from = 1L)

topNCompiled(npkg, date = Sys.Date() - 1, from = 1L)

nDeps(ndeps)

buildUpdatedPackages(tgt, debug = FALSE, verbose = FALSE, force = FALSE,
  xvfb = FALSE, bioc = FALSE)

Arguments

pkg	character Name of the CRAN or BioConductor package to build
tgt	character Name (or version) of the build target distribution, this is restricted to either “20.04” or “22.04” (or their names “focal” or “jammy”)
debug	logical Optional value to show more debugging output, default is ‘FALSE’
verbose	logical Optional value show more verbose progress output, default is ‘FALSE’
force	logical Optional value to force package build from source, default is ‘FALSE’
xvfb	logical Optional value to build under xvfb-run, default is ‘FALSE’
suffix	character Optional value to override default package version suffix of ‘.1’
debver	character Optional value for beginning of Debian build version, default ‘1.’
plusdfsg	logical Optional switch whether “+dfsg” gets appended to usptream, default ‘FALSE’
dryrun	logical Optional value to skip actual package build step, default is ‘FALSE’
npkg	integer Number of packages to build
date	Date Relevant date for cranlog download stats
from	integer Optional applied as offset to npkg to shift the selection

Details

The buildPackage function builds the given package. The buildAll package applies to all elements in the supplied vector of packages. The topN and topNCompiled helpers select ‘N’ among all (or all compiled) packages. The nDeps function builds packages with a given (adjusted) build-dependency count. The updatedPackages function finds a set of available packages that are not yet built.

Note that this build process is still somewhat tailored to the build setup use by the author and is not (yet ?) meant to be universally transferable. It should be with a little care and possible examination of the code. If interested, please get in touch.

Value

Nothing as the function is invoked for the side effect of building binary packages
