Freeze dependencies

Source: R/freeze_dependencies.R
freeze_dependencies.Rd

Freeze the targeted versions of base R and CRAN packages.

Usage

freeze_dependencies(path_staging, path_community)

Arguments

path_staging

Character string, directory path to the source files of the Staging universe.

path_community

Character string, local directory path to the clone of the Community universe GitHub repository.

Value

NULL (invisibly)

Details

freeze_dependencies() runs during the month-long dependency freeze phase of Staging in which base R and CRAN packages are locked in the Staging universe until after the next Production snapshot. This establishes checks in the Staging universe using the exact set of dependencies that will be used in the candidate freeze (see stage_candidates()).

freeze_dependencies() copies the Community repository packages.json into the Staging repository to reset the Staging process. It also writes a config.json file with the date of the targeted CRAN snapshot.
