Download zip-compressed Windows binaries from a renv.lock file

getPkgZips.Rd

A function that locates and downloads Windows binaries (.zip) from CRAN based on packages specified in a renv.lock file.

Usage

getPkgZips(
  lockfile_path = NULL,
  supplement = NULL,
  override_lock = FALSE,
  r_rels_vect = c("4.0", "4.1", "4.2", "4.3", "4.4", "4.5", "4.6"),
  backupRrel = "4.4",
  outDir = NULL
)

Arguments

lockfile_path

Path to renv.lock file, if empty will search for renv.lock in project directory

supplement

Nested list of packages to supplement or use in place of a renv.lock file

override_lock

Logical. Default is FALSE. If set to TRUE and the same package is named in both the renv.lock and the supplement, the version called in the supplement will override the renv.lock

r_rels_vect

A character vector of R minor releases

backupRrel

A string of the R minor-release to use if preferred package version cannot be found under any of the minor releases specified in `r_rels_vect`

outDir

Path to output directory for package zips. If left empty, an output directory will be created in project 'renv' directory

Value

In addition to downloading the specified packages into the outDir, returns a list of packages that were searched for as well as the URLs, versions (if found), etc.

Details

If the package version is not found under any of the R minor releases, the package will be downloaded from the specified `backupRrel` regardless of package version specified in renv.lock

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
pkg_status_list <- getPkgZips()
# Format supp in this way:
devtools <- list(Package = "devtools", Version = "2.5.1")
duckdb <- list(Package = "duckdb", Version = "1.5.2")
supp <- list(Packages = list(devtools = devtools, duckdb = duckdb))
pkg_status_list <- getPkgZips(supplement = supp)
} # }
