Notes for hyperSpec Team Members

There is only one branch here: gh-pages.
Instructions for end users to install are given in README.md.
Other repos (e.g. hySpc.read.txt) can and will automatically deploy tar balls (as .tar.gz archives) to this site. When that happens, the most recent version goes into src/contrib and older versions go to archive/pkg_name.
Automatic deployment is controlled by, for example hySpc.read.txt/.github/workflows/build_check_deploy.yaml.
Package drat handles deploying to pkg-repo. If you look at src/contrib you will see the tar balls, a human-readible file (PACKAGES) and two machine-readible files (PACKAGES.gz and PACKAGES.rds). These are the pieces necessary for R to use this as a repository. The paper in the R Journal on drat is very useful, but it hides the simplicity in some ways. drat simply keeps these three ancillary files up-to-date.

Instructions and Details for hyperSpec Team Members

If you edit README.md make sure that # pkg-repo is the first line and that you don't add anything after Packages currently residing here:. There is a yaml in this repo that copies these lines and everything between them, adds a directory listing and then saves an updated version of README.md.
To manually deploy to this repo, follow these steps:
- library("drat")
  - insertPackage(file = "path to full name of tar.gz", repodir = "point to top level of the local repo", action = "archive")
  - Push the branch you are on to the pkg-repo remote.
If you need to delete a package do so by the usual means. The yaml herein will automatically update the indices.
