In general, I'm strongly against encouraging innocent users to submit their Rust-powered package to CRAN, which leads them to a lot of troubles. To be clear, it's totally possible to use Rust in CRAN packages, but I believe it's expert-only. For example, typical problems they face are
Both cannot be automatically fixed by such a command. So, it's inappropriate to advertise "CRAN-ready".
That said, I'm curious why you wanted this feature. If you want to vendor the source on building the package, prqlr's setup might help.
Closing this for now. Please let me know if you need some specific feature to get your package on CRAN!
Thanks! Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I will need this eventually and will be happy to work on it when that time comes.
It would be helpful to have a command in
savvy-cli
that simplifies the process of preparing an R source package for CRAN. Currently, getting asavvy
-using package ready for CRAN involves additional steps like vendoring Rust dependencies, updating Makevars, configuring cargo settings, and generating an authors file.A
build --for-cran
command could help by automating these extra steps while keeping the standard package development process withsavvy
straightforward.
