Hi,
is it possible to make the build system a bit mor flexible with regards to repository layout?
Currently a pkg/sub-directory is required, but it would be nice if the svn checkout step looked for a DESCRIPTION file directly at the root, when there is no pkg/ directory.
I believe this only amounts to adding an extra call to svn list, before giving up with the error:
"No packages available in directory pkg of the SVN repository"
This is to make it easier to use external repository, e.g. as hosted in github still keeping the ease of having devtools::install_github('pkgname', 'username') to work without having to specify a path.
Thank you.
Bests,
Renaud |
