Query CRAN(like) package data — meta_cache

It uses CRAN and BioConductor packages, for the current platform and R version, from the default repositories.

Usage

meta_cache_deps(packages, dependencies = NA, recursive = TRUE)

meta_cache_revdeps(packages, dependencies = NA, recursive = TRUE)

meta_cache_update()

meta_cache_list(packages = NULL)

meta_cache_cleanup(force = FALSE)

meta_cache_summary()

Arguments

packages: Packages to query.
dependencies: Dependency types to query. See the dependencies parameter of utils::install.packages().
recursive: Whether to query recursive dependencies.
force: Whether to force cleanup without asking the user.

Value

A data frame of the dependencies. For meta_cache_deps() and meta_cache_revdeps() it includes the queried packages as well.

Details

meta_cache_list() lists all packages.

meta_cache_update() updates all metadata. Note that metadata is automatically updated if it is older than seven days.

meta_cache_deps() queries packages dependencies.

meta_cache_revdeps() queries reverse package dependencies.

meta_cache_summary() lists data about the cache, including its location and size.

meta_cache_cleanup() deletes the cache files from the disk.
