Some R packages require access to a home directory to pass install tests. Extend
r-modules to allow creating a temporary home directory for packages with
such requirements.
The current behaviour for generate-r-packages.R is to delete
packages that have been remove upstream. This patch changes the
behaviour to mark packages as broken rather than removing them.
This has the advantage of never breaking expressions, which
previously occured when a package with overrides in default.nix
was deleted. As a result, the update procedure is simplified,
allowing automated updates to the package tree to run, and
additionally if a package is re-established upstream the previous
overrides still exist.
generate-R-packages.R fails without these changes.
Without `cacert`, all wget/curl calls will fail
with an error about no valid certificates.
Without `nix`, calling `nix-hash` fails.
An impure nix-shell can get away with not adding
these if the system NIXPKGS version is the same
as the version of NIXPKGS used
with `nix-shell generate-shell.nix`
BioConductor releases are tied to specific R releases.
Updating the package set now automatically selects the
correct version of bioconductor to match the current version of
R.
r-modules: fix r package system dependencies
r-modules: fix terra package dependencies
r-modules: fix edge case for R package import
The R package "import" has a name that clashes
with the nix function "import". The package
name in nixpkgs is correctly modified to
avoid the clash, but the name of the
R package was also being changed in
cran-packages.nix, which broke downloading
of the package.
cran-packages.nix has been manually patched,
and genreate-r-packages.R has been fixed so
future automatic updates will succeed.
r-modules: fix repeated `pkgs.` and svglite
