1 To install:

3 $ cd ..

4 $ R CMD INSTALL cran2deb

6 copy cran2deb/exec/cran2deb into somewhere in your executable path (e.g.,

7 /usr/local/bin, $home/bin)

11 To configure:

13 1. You need a web server serving from say, /var/www/cran2deb/

15 Let ROOT be the value returned by running: cran2deb root

16 Let SYS be the system you wish to build for (e.g., debian-amd64)

18 2. create /etc/cran2deb

19 a. copy ROOT/etc/* into /etc/cran2deb/sys/SYS/

20 b. /etc/cran2deb/archive should be a symlink pointing to /var/www/cran2deb/

22 $ ln -s /var/www/cran2deb/ /etc/cran2deb/archive

23 $ mkdir /var/www/cran2deb/SYS

25 c. modify OTHERMIRROR of /etc/cran2deb/pbuilderrc.in to point to your webserver

27 3. cran2deb needs a persistent cache outside of R's control. therefore, create

28 /var/cache/cran2deb, writable by whichever user(s) will run cran2deb.

29 4. run: cran2deb update

30 5. Try building a simple package: cran2deb build zoo

31 (The result will be in /var/cache/cran2deb/results/SYS)

34 $ cran2deb help

35 will display a short summary of help for each cran2deb command.
