Overview

About

Maintained by Florian D. Schneider12 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Assistance for handling ecological trait data and applying the Ecological Trait-Data Standard terminology (Schneider et al. 2019 doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13288). There are two major use cases: (1) preparation of own trait datasets for publication, and (2) harmonizing trait datasets from different sources by re-formatting them into a unified format. See 'traitdataform' website for full documentation.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/traitdataform/traitdataform_0.6.8.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "traitdataform_0.6.8.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 (0.6.8) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

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

Development version from ecologicaltraitdata/traitdataform. 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-traitdataform

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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

# 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-traitdataform

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
