Depend on package versions

Open richfitz opened this issue 11 years ago • 3 comments

I've removed this feature for now, because

  • It would require rebuilding after every upgrade of R (because tools, utils, etc will change version number)
  • If packages are loaded by a target, the version of those packages is not included in the list (because the version list is determined at maker startup). That then leads to random rebuilds if make is run a second time because now there is a new package loaded! (this interacts with #12).
  • Package version information is not granular enough for rapidly changing packages (e.g. if you are developing a package as part of a research problem then you'll want to depend on the code or the git version of that package)

A better interface might be to declare which packages to depend on in different ways (code inspection, number version, git version).

Not sure exactly how this fits in, but maybe documentation could show you how to handle this with packrat.

could be worthwhile flagging packages to entirely check; that will be useful with tratiecoevo/tree and the scripts directory.
