R Development Container 0.2.0

  • Documentation split into set of markdown files. These are used to create the documentation website https://contributor.r-project.org/r-dev-env/ and the user-focused pages can be accessed directly within the codespace, linked from an index that opens when the codespace first starts. New documentation pages/topics:
    • Restarting and stopping the codespace
    • Live Share
    • Local Setup
    • Updating Source Code
    • Creating a patch file
    • Multiple R Versions
    • SVN Help
    • Contributor Guide (for R Dev Container itself)
    • Troubleshooting
  • Building R documentation now instructs to build R with recommended packages as it only takes a few more minutes to set up and enables all the tests to be run with make check.
  • Updated GitHub Actions, so that the container is rebuilt twice a month with updated software, including the latest version of R.
  • Disconnected Codespace from r-dev-env GitHub repository, so changes are not tracked as changes to code for the container itself.
  • Updated Codespace settings so that checkouts of the R sources are recognised as Subversion repositories, connecting to VS Code version control tab.
  • Updated Codespace settings so that the R code linter is turned off (cannot define linter for base R!)
  • Enabled httpgd graphics device to replace the default of plotting to PNG.
  • Modified the default settings of $BUILDDIR and $TOP_SRCDIR to give a more logical setup for working with multiple R versions.
  • Added which_r script to set the R version to use in R terminals, rather than using sudo make install to overwrite installed R release version.
  • Added set_build_r bash function to facilitate custom settings of $BUILDDIR and $TOP_SRCDIR for working with multiple R versions.

We hope the R Development Container helps you in your R journey 😊
