Dear all, I am happy to announce that {pkglite} is now on CRAN. It aims to offer a tool, grammar, and standard to represent and exchange R packages as text files. It can convert one or more source packages to a text file and restore the package structures from the file. I hope you find it helpful. Please feel free to reach out with feedback or questions.
