CRAN release: 2023-06-14

CRAN release: 2022-11-27

  • pkgbuild can now avoid copying large package directories when building a source package. See the PKG_BUILD_COPY_METHOD environment variable in ?build or the package README (#59).

    This is currently an experimental feature, and feedback is appreciated.

  • R CMD build warnings can now be turned into errors, by setting the pkg.build_stop_for_warnings option to TRUE or by setting the PKG_BUILD_STOP_FOR_WARNINGS environment variable to true (#114).

  • need_compile() now knows about Rust source code files, i.e. Cargo.toml and *.rs (#115).

  • Now pkgbuild::build() will not clean up inst/doc by default if the Config/build/clean-inst-doc entry in DESCRIPTION is set to FALSE (#128).

  • New PKG_BUILD_COLOR_DIAGNOSTICS environment variable to opt out from colored compiler output (#141).

pkgbuild 1.3.1

CRAN release: 2021-12-20

  • Accept Rtools40 for R 4.2, it works well, as long as the PATH includes both ${RTOOLS40_HOME}/usr/bin and ${RTOOLS40_HOME}/ucrt64/bin. E.g. ~/.Renviron should contain now

    PATH="${RTOOLS40_HOME}\usr\bin;${RTOOLS40_HOME}\ucrt64\bin;${PATH}"

    to make Rtools40 work with both R 4.2.x (devel currently) and R 4.1.x and R 4.0.x.
