This function returns the compile-time information added
to the <code>DESCRIPTION</code> file in the package.

Creation and use of R Repositories via helper functions
to insert packages into a repository, and to add repository information

gh-pages at GitHub, as well as local repositories on either the same machine

<dl><dt>file</dt>
<dd>the fully qualified path of the package</dd>
<dt>OSflavour</dt>
<dd>an optional string naming the OSflavour, which is otherwise read as 
the second element of the 'Built' field of the <code>file</code>. For packages that do not 
need compilation on macOS for R &gt;= 4.3 the 'Built' field is empty in the DESCRIPTION 
in a binary file (tgz), in which case it can be useful to set the <code>OSflavour</code> 
e.g. by the value of R.Version()$platform, so that <code>insertPackages</code> inserts 
the binary into the appropriate sub folder (under bin/maxosx).</dd></dl>
