Overview

About

Maintained by Sebastian LucasFirst published 2026-08-081 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Creates meta-packages (in the style of the 'tidyverse') from locally stored package archives (.tar.gz, .zip). Designed for teams working behind institutional firewalls without access to package repositories. Resolves dependencies between local packages by building a dependency graph with topological ordering and cycle detection, classifies dependencies as local or CRAN, detects implicit dependencies by scanning source code, and generates the full meta-package scaffold including re-exports, vignettes and documentation.

Install

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

install.packages("bigbang", 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("sebollin/bigbang")

Development version from sebollin/bigbang. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

# 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-bigbang

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
