How to use latest changes in remote repo #16

Closed tblazina closed 5 years ago

tblazina commented 5 years ago

I am wondering if there is a way to have jetpack use the latest changes in a specific repo. I know you can use jetpack::add("somepackage", remote="someauthor/somepackage") but this seems to be using the latest release.

For example, futile.logger (https://github.com/zatonovo/futile.logger) is on release v.1.4.3 and indeed when I use jetpack::add("futile.logger", remote="zatonovo/futile.logger") this version is installed and added to the DESCRIPTION and packrat.lock files, however the repo has changes which they haven't created a release for yet and I am wondering if it is possible to specify this using jetpack?

Thanks a lot for the great package btw!

Hey @tblazina, you can use jetpack::update("futile.logger") for this.

Thanks @ankane, after I run jetpack::update("futile.logger") it seems to still be using the latest release of futile.logger and doesn't include all the code (e.g. I'm trying to use their appender.file2() function). Jetpack gives the message after the update: Updated futile.logger to 1.4.3 (was 1.4.3).

Does your packrat.lock have GitHub as the source for futile.logger, as well as the latest SHA? The version on GitHub is 1.4.3, so the update message will still say that.
