CRAN Package Registry

Publish R packages to a CRAN-like registry for your user or organization.

Requirements​

To work with the CRAN package registry, you need to install R.

Configuring the package registry​

To register the package registry you need to add it to Rprofile.site, either on the system-level, user-level (~/.Rprofile) or project-level:

options("repos" = c(getOption("repos"), c(gitea="https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/cran")))

If you need to provide credentials, you may embed them as part of the url (https://user:password@gitea.example.com/...).

Publish a package​

To publish a R package, perform a HTTP PUT operation with the package content in the request body.

Source packages:

PUT https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/cran/src

Binary packages:

PUT https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/cran/bin?platform={platform}&rversion={rversion}

For example:

curl --user your_username:your_password_or_token \
     --upload-file path/to/package.zip \
     https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/cran/bin?platform=windows&rversion=4.2

If you are using 2FA or OAuth use a personal access token instead of the password.

You cannot publish a package if a package of the same name and version already exists. You must delete the existing package first.

The server responds with the following HTTP Status codes.

Install a package​

To install a R package from the package registry, execute the following command:

install.packages("{package_name}")

For example:

install.packages("testpackage")
