miniCRAN-package: Tools to create an internally consistent, mini version of CRAN with selected packages only.

Description

Tools to create an internally consistent, mini version of CRAN with selected packages only.

Arguments

Details

At the end of 2013, CRAN consisted of more than 5000 packages. Many organisations need to maintain a private mirror of CRAN, but with only a subset of packages that are relevant to them. miniCRAN makes this possible by recursively reading the dependency tree for a given set of packages, then downloading only this subset. Important functions:
  • pkgDep: Find (recursive) package dependencies
  • makeRepo: Make repository
  • pkgAvail: Read local repository and determine available packages
  • makeDepGraph: Create graph of selected package dependencies
