-To install:
-
-$ cd ..
-$ R CMD INSTALL cran2deb
-
-copy cran2deb/exec/cran2deb into somewhere in your executable path (e.g.,
-/usr/local/bin, $home/bin)
-
-
-
-To configure:
-
-1. You need a web server serving from say, /var/www/cran2deb/
-
-Let ROOT be the value returned by running: cran2deb root
-Let SYS be the system you wish to build for (e.g., debian-amd64)
-
-2. create /etc/cran2deb
- a. copy ROOT/etc/* into /etc/cran2deb/
- b. ensure ROOT/etc/sys/SYS is set up
- c. /etc/cran2deb/archive should be a symlink pointing to /var/www/cran2deb/
-
- $ ln -s /var/www/cran2deb/ /etc/cran2deb/archive
- $ mkdir /var/www/cran2deb/SYS
-
- d. modify OTHERMIRROR of /etc/cran2deb/sys/SYS/pbuilderrc.in to point to your webserver
- e. run: cran2deb repopulate
-
-3. cran2deb needs a persistent cache outside of R's control. therefore, create
- /var/cache/cran2deb, writable by whichever user(s) will run cran2deb.
-4. add to /etc/rc.local:
- # one mini-dinstall daemon for each apt repo
- for sys in debian-i386 debian-amd64
- do
- mini-dinstall -c /etc/cran2deb/sys/$sys/mini-dinstall.conf
- done
- and execute.
-
-5. run: cran2deb update
-6. Try building a simple package: cran2deb build zoo
- (The result will be in /var/cache/cran2deb/results/SYS)
-
-
-$ cran2deb help
-will display a short summary of help for each cran2deb command.
-
-
-Concerning data/:
-This contains scripts necessary to recreate the database should you lose the
-database. It's a backup that can be versioned by SVN. There is a script called
-pull that, when run from the data directory will recreate all the files from
-the database EXCEPT for the licenses. The licenses cannot be recreated because
-licenses can be based on one-way hashes. This process could certainly be
-improved.
