Add all packages from a CRAN-like repository to a package repository

Downloads and builds all available source R packages from the R package repositories given by repos, compiling each package for use with WebAssembly and webR. The resulting WebAssembly binary packages are added to the repository directory repo_dir. The repository directory will be created if it does not already exist.

Usage

add_repo(repos = ppm_config$cran_mirror, skip = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

repos

A character vector containing the base URL(s) of CRAN-like R package repositories. Defaults to the Posit Package Manager CRAN mirror.

skip

A character string containing a regular expression matching names of packages to skip. Defaults to FALSE, meaning keep all packages.

...

Arguments passed on to add_pkg

repo_dir: The package repository directory. Defaults to "./repo".
remotes: A character vector of package references to prefer as a remote source. Defaults to NA, meaning prefer a built-in list of references to packages pre-modified for use with webR.
dependencies: Dependency specification for packages to additionally add to the repository. Defaults to FALSE, meaning no additional packages. Use NA to install only hard dependencies whereas TRUE installs all optional dependencies as well. See pkgdepends::as_pkg_dependencies for details.
compress: When TRUE, add and compress Emscripten virtual filesystem metadata in the resulting R package binary .tgz files. Otherwise, file_packager() is used to create uncompressed virtual filesystem images included in the output binary package repository. Defaults to TRUE.
