Description

The function moves older versions of packages into a CRAN-style archive folder.

Usage

archivePackages(repopath = getOption("dratRepo", "~/git/drat"),
  type = c("source", "binary", "mac.binary", "mac.binary.big-sur-x86_64",
  "mac.binary.big-sur-arm64", "mac.binary.el-capitan", "mac.binary.mavericks",
  "win.binary", "both"), pkg, version = getRversion())
archivePackagesForAllRversions(repopath = getOption("dratRepo", "~/git/drat"),
  type = c("source", "binary", "mac.binary", "mac.binary.big-sur-x86_64",
  "mac.binary.big-sur-arm64", "mac.binary.el-capitan", "mac.binary.mavericks",
  "win.binary", "both"), pkg)

Arguments

repopath

Character variable with the path to the repo; defaults to the value of the “dratRepo” option with “"~/git/drat"” as fallback

type

Character variable for the type of repository, so far “source”, “binary”, “win.binary”, “mac.binary”, “mac.binary.big-sur-x86_64”, “mac.binary.big-sur-arm64”, “mac.binary.mavericks”, “mac.binary.el-capitan” or “both”

pkg

Optional character variable specifying a package name(s), whose older versions should be archived. If missing (the default), archiving is performed on all packages.

version

R version information in the format X.Y or X.Y.Z. Only used, if archiving binary packages. (default: version = getRversion()). If version = NA, all available R versions will be used. If version = NULL, this defaults to getRversion().
