Overview

About

Maintained by Jeffrey HornerCRAN page ↗

gearman provides a reference class interface to the Gearman Job server. gearman links to the libgearman C library and currently exposes the client API, allowing R users to submit jobs to Gearman Job servers. A future version may expose the worker API, thus allowing users to place R jobs within the server... callable by any gearman-enabled client.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/gearman/gearman_0.1-5.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "gearman_0.1-5.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1-5) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
