AFAIK you can't use a simple git source code repository of a package. i'm maintaining various alternative repos myself ( https://reaktanz.de/R/ ; https://files.kde.org/rkward/R/ ; https://undocumeantit.github.io/repos/l10n/ ) using roxyPackage instead of drat. > And with Additional_repositories, it plays with the install.packages() and > update.packages() functions just as it should -- because package dependency > resolution is a powerful mechanism we like to use whereever possible. do you mean that a dependency is automatically fetched and installed from an *alternative* repo configured via 'Additional_repositories'? i didn't get that to work. i only ever managed CRAN to see that the package is there during checks, but not install it. take the 'sylly' package: https://cran.r-project.org/package=sylly it has Additional_repositories: https://undocumeantit.github.io/repos/l10n in its DESCRIPTION and suggests 'sylly.de', 'sylly.en', and 'sylly.es'. but when i run install.packages("sylly", dependencies=TRUE) i get: Warning: dependencies ‘testthat’, ‘sylly.de’, ‘sylly.en’, ‘sylly.es’ are not available am i missing something? viele grüße :: m.eik -- dipl. psych. meik michalke abt. f"ur diagnostik und differentielle psychologie institut f"ur experimentelle psychologie heinrich-heine-universit"at geb"aude 23.03.00.26 | tel +49 (0)211 8113498 40204 d"usseldorf | fax +49 (0)211 8111753 http://www.psycho.hhu.de https://reaktanz.de https://rkward.kde.org https://twitter.com/RKWardNet
