[R-pkg-devel] devtools::build_win()?
Hello: Hadley Wickham's otherwise wonderful "R packages" book recommends using "devtools::build_win()" in the "Test environments" section of his chapter on "Releasing a package". However, devtools 2.2.1, which seems to be the current version, contains no such "build_win" function. This section of "R packages" also says, says that "devtools::revdep_check()" "Runs R CMD check on each [reverse dependency] and Summarises the results in a single file." However, the current version of "devtools::revdep_check()" seems only to identify the reverse dependencies without testing them. That do you suggest? Thanks, Spencer Graves __ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel

Hi, see devtools::check_win_devel and https://github.com/r-lib/revdepcheck for the current implementations for these.

Re: [R-pkg-devel] devtools::build_win()?
There's a revdepcheck package (seems to be only on GitHub?): https://github.com/r-lib/revdepcheck It's pretty robust and feature-ful (I'm currently 4 hours into a 6-hour batch job checking the lme4 reverse dependencies on 6 cores in parallel ... I think the RStudio folks use it for even bigger problems like ggplot2 reverse-dependency checking) On 2019-10-31 5:08 p.m., Spencer Graves wrote: > Hello: > > > Hadley Wickham's otherwise wonderful "R packages" book recommends > using "devtools::build_win()" in the "Test environments" section of his > chapter on "Releasing a package".
