Other than all the explicitly supported repositories (CRAN,
Bioconductor, etc.), locally set up repositories can also be analysed
using {woodendesc}. The requirement is they must contain the
PACKAGES file (or PACKAGES.gz, its compressed
counterpart) under /src/contrib path; the file should
effectively be a concatenation of relevant attributes from all
DESCRIPTION files of the packages the repository
contains.
Packages
To list all available packages the user should use
wood_url_packages().
wood_url_packages("https://colinfay.me")
#> [1] "craneur" "jekyllthat" "tidystringdist" "attempt"
#> [5] "rpinterest" "rgeoapi" "proustr" "languagelayeR"
#> [9] "fryingpane" "dockerfiler" "devaddins"Available package version
The structure of PACKAGES file allows only one version
to be stored, so wood_url_version() may only return this
one version.
wood_url_version("dockerfiler", repository = "https://colinfay.me")
#> [1] "0.1.1"Package dependencies
The PACKAGES file is supposed to contain dependency data
as well.
wood_url_dependencies("tidystringdist", repository = "https://colinfay.me")
