drat

CRAN-style package repository for cornball.ai R packages that aren't on CRAN (yet):

• bonsaisitter — tree-sitter runtime for R, zero hard dependencies
• treesitter.python, treesitter.cpp, treesitter.rust, treesitter.javascript, treesitter.go — grammar packages for the runtime
• mirar — structured runtime inspection of R sessions
• chat.api — transport-agnostic chat contract for R agents, with adapters for Matrix, Slack, and IRC
• janssonr — strict JSON encode/decode via the Jansson C library (links system libjansson-dev >= 2.11 when present, compiles its bundled copy otherwise; needs R >= 4.4)
• hacer, RcppOTIO

It also carries development versions of packages that are on CRAN, when something here needs a fix that has not been released yet:

• mx.client — CRAN has 0.2.0, which predates the encrypted-send fixes and the reaction and invite extractors that chat.api reads. Both chat.api and corteza declare floors above it, so the version here is whatever they currently need. Drops back to the CRAN copy once those changes ship as 0.2.1.

The exact versions live in src/contrib/PACKAGES rather than in this list, which only says why a package is here.

Usage

install.packages("bonsaisitter",
                 repos = c("https://cornball-ai.github.io/drat",
                           getOption("repos")))

Listing this repo first is what makes the development versions win: R picks the highest version it can see across the repositories given, so a package here at 0.2.0.2 supersedes CRAN's 0.2.0 and one that only exists here is found at all.

Source packages only. RcppOTIO needs the OpenTimelineIO C++ library (>= 0.18), Imath headers, and a C++17 compiler -- see its SystemRequirements.

Adding a release

file.copy("pkg_x.y.z.tar.gz", "~/drat/src/contrib/")
tools::write_PACKAGES("~/drat/src/contrib", type = "source")

Then commit and push.
