No more (R package) breakage from (system) library updates.
Full integration with apt so that an update of a system library cannot break an R package: if a (shared) library is used by CRAN, the package manager knows and will not remove it. Full integration with apt as every binary resolves all dependencies: No more installations (of pre-built archives) only to discover that a shared library is missing. Everything is provided as “.deb” binary files with proper dependency resolution by using a proper apt repo which also has a signed Release file.įrom their web page, here are its key features: They limited the Bioconductor packages to the ones used in CRAN. It also supports 207 (focal) and 215 (jammy) BioConductor packages from the 3.15 release. 
It currently supports 19,066 and 18,921 binary packages from CRAN in “ focal” and “ jammy” respectively. In this post, I want to test r2u, a very rapid and efficient tool to install R packages.
