Overview

About

Maintained by Vincent GouletCRAN page ↗GitLab ↗Issues ↗

*The package is deprecated. It uses the standard drivers on R >= 4.6.0 since they incorporate all the functionalities below.* Weave and tangle drivers for Sweave extending the standard drivers. RweaveExtraLatex and RtangleExtra provide options to completely ignore code chunks on weaving, tangling, or both. Chunks ignored on weaving are not parsed, yet are written out verbatim on tangling. Chunks ignored on tangling may be evaluated as usual on weaving, but are completely left out of the tangled scripts. The driver RtangleExtra also provides options to control the separation between code chunks in the tangled script, and to specify the extension of the file name (or remove it entirely) when splitting is selected.

USER VISIBLE CHANGES

Mark the package as deprecated since R 4.6.0 incorporates all its functionalities. On R >= 4.6.0, the package uses the standard drivers and does not export the utility function SweaveGetSourceName. Behaviour for earlier versions remains unchanged.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("RweaveExtra", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("vigou3/rweaveextra")

Development version from vigou3/rweaveextra. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-rweaveextra

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-RweaveExtra

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-RweaveExtra

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
