Quick release a package

Description

This is builds on top of release_package and makes it quicker to release packages. The repo base directory can be specified in the managelocalrepo.base option. The directory in which the package file is located is assumed to be a "submissions" folder and can be specified in the managelocalrepo.submissions option. These options can be set using options, potentially by using .First

Usage

quick_release_package(file_name, ...)

Arguments

file_name	the package's file name (not full path)
...	optional arguments to pass to release_package

Value

No return value. Will release a package to repo's terminal directory and update the index. Otherwise will return a suitable error message.

Release a package to the local repo.

Description

This will take a package from a given location and populate it to the relevant trees in the local repo. It will create terminal directories if needed.

Usage

release_package(package_location, repo_base, type = "win", version = "all",
  r_versions = c("2.15", "3.0", "3.1", "3.2"), ...)

Arguments

package_location	the full path to the package's file. This should be the package's file name represented by a character vector of length one.
repo_base	the base directory of the local repository represented by a character vector of length one.
type	the type of package file being released. Should be win (default), mac or src for Windows binary, Mac binary and source package distributions respectively.
version	determines which terminal directory to release the package file to, given a value for type that is either wim or mac. Can also use "all" to release the package to all terminal directories for either wim or mac. If type is src, then version is ignored, as this is not needed.
r_versions	a character vector of R versions. This is used to determine the terminal directories when type is "win" or "mac" and version is "all". Should follow the specifications set out in R Installation and Admin guide.
...	optional arguments to pass to file.path

Value

No return value. Will release a package to the desired local repo's terminal directory and update the relevant index file. Otherwise will return a suitable error message.
