A utility for R Core members to prepare a package of updated translations.
make_translations_pkg(srcdir, outDir = ".", append = "-1")
The R source directory.
The directory into which to place the prepared package.
The suffix for the package version number,
e.g.3.0.0-1
will be the default in R 3.0.0.
This extracts the translations in a current R source distribution and
packages them as a source package called translations which can
be distributed on CRAN and installed by
update.packages
. This allows e.g.the translations
shipped in R 3.x.y to be updated to those currently in
R-patched, even by a user without administrative privileges.
The package has a Depends field which restricts it to versions
3.x.*
for a single x
.
