Hi, I'm trying to understand why/how absolute file paths are stored in .rdb[1] and .rds[2] files during package installation. As a consequence building the same r package in different directories does not produce identical .rdb and .rds files.
The background is that I work on reproducible builds[3] of R packages. I think this is important from an engineering point of view but also from a scientists perspective (that's actually my point). I want to be sure that my research results are reproducible and therefore I need software that builds reproducible. To investigate further I'd like to ask for some help. From what I understand so far the lazy-load databases are built by code in src/library/tools/R/makeLazyLoad.R. The code path is not very clear to me but the main problem I have now is that it's hard to follow the code path used to install a package. Could someone enlighten me by pointing me to some docs or by briefly describing the path? Any help/comments are very welcome. Best, Philip PS: could you CC me, I'm not on the list. Thanks. [1] at least in <PKG>/R/<PKG>.rdb and <PKG>/help/<PKG>.rdb [2] at least in <PKG>/help/paths.rds [3] https://reproducible-builds.org ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
