Create an R package library

Extracts all R packages contained in the repository directory repo_dir and writes them to a library directory lib_dir.

Usage

make_library(repo_dir = "./repo", lib_dir = "./lib", strip = NULL)

Arguments

repo_dir

The package repository directory. Defaults to "./repo".

lib_dir

Package library output directory. Defaults to "./lib".

strip

A character vector of directories to strip from each R package.

Details

The lib_dir directory will be created if it does not already exist.

The strip argument may be used to strip certain directories from packages installed to the library directory lib_dir. This can be used to reduce the total library file size by removing directories that are not strictly necessary for the R package to run, such as directories containing documentation and vignettes.
