4 $ R CMD INSTALL cran2deb
6 copy cran2deb/exec/cran2deb into somewhere in your executable path (e.g.,
7 /usr/local/bin, $home/bin)
13 1. You need a web server serving from say, /var/www/cran2deb/
15 Let ROOT be the value returned by running: cran2deb root
17 2. ROOT/var/archive should be a symlink pointing to /var/www/cran2deb/
19 $ ln -s /var/www/cran2deb/ ROOT/var/archive
20 3. modify OTHERMIRROR of ROOT/etc/pbuilderrc.in to point to your webserver
21 4. cran2deb needs a persistent cache outside of R's control. therefore, create
22 /var/cache/cran2deb, writable by whichever user(s) will run cran2deb.
23 5. run: cran2deb update
24 6. Try building a simple package: cran2deb build zoo
25 (The result will be in /var/cache/cran2deb/results)
33 - tries to build everything in the database that is out of date or failed on last build.
36 - license console for adding new licenses. see ROOT/data/populate_licenses for examples
39 - dependency console for adding more dependencies, forced dependencies, system requirement patterns, and aliases.
40 see ROOT/data/populate_depend_aliases
45 - update the various caches and databases from the latest cran2deb static data, CRAN/BioC repos, and Debian
46 repos (for the pbuilder chroot)
