Releasing a new packrat version on CRAN? #611

Closed slodge closed 3 years ago

slodge commented 4 years ago

We're finding the version of packrat on CRAN is causing problems for us - especially with it not correctly picking up our internal CRAN repositories (it lists packages from them as CRAN and warns "Packrat will assume this package is available from a CRAN-like repository during future restores")

I think our issue was solved by https://github.com/rstudio/packrat/commit/da6465073cb05e406183f4e6099e45698daf7e88#diff-248d140618b0a0963077f113fa13f3b8

To work around this we are getting users to install packrat from github... (but they have to be careful to do this outside any current renv scope...)... It would require less explanation to get our users to install/update from CRAN.

Sorry for asking on this - I realise this is a "cosmetic" rather than functional issue and that development has now moved to renv - however, we're trying to present RStudio and RStudio Connect as a working product set and having to install patches from github feels a bit clunky. It's nice when products work together "out of the box" if you know what I mean (y)

I think we can try to release a new version of Packrat soon. (Packrat updates are a bit challenging because the jetpack package, which depends on Packrat, always fails its tests when Packrat is updated... and so this requires some conversations with CRAN to fix)

Thanks.

If it's a time consuming job, then don't worry too much - I wouldn't want to steal time away from renv :)

This would also help learnr. Currently the main README recommends installing the github version.

Packrat 0.6.0 is now (finally!) on CRAN. Yay!
