Remote sessions ignore pkgdepends config
I am trying to achieve forced binary installation on macOS as suggested in #318. Now pkgcache::meta_cache_list("Matrix") on intel mac shows three rows: available binary (1.5-0), latest source (1.5-1), and recommended (1.4-1).
> pkgcache::meta_cache_list("Matrix")

I guess options(pkg.platforms = "x86_64-apple-darwin17.0") and pkgdepends::current_config() are not propagated into new sessions created by remote().
Yes, at some point this will be fixed and we'll propagate all options, but for now you'll need to set the corresponding env vars, before you load pak.
Confirmed that setting PKG_PLATFORMS works as expected (and loading pkgdepends before setting the env var is allowed). Thank you for your prompt reply!

Just to clarify, pkgdepends is not relevant here (other than you are using it to get the current platform), because pak has its own copy of it from its own library.
Thanks for the clarification. I also realized that pkgdepends::current_r_platform() is overkill in this context because it is equivalent to R.version$platform on non-Linux systems. Now I'm satisfied with the following code in my .Rprofile:
if (endsWith(.Platform$pkgType, "binary")) {
Sys.setenv(PKG_PLATFORMS = R.version$platform)
}
Btw. I think you can also set the platform to macos or windows, and we should probably support binary as well.
Btw. 2. you might know this already, but if you only allow binary packages, then pak might fail if some packages do not have binaries available.
