I have just written a package called choroplethrZip <https://github.com/arilamstein/choroplethrZip> which contains a shapefile and metadata on US Zip codes. It is currently hosted on github, has a tagged version number (v1.0.0) and passes R CMD check as verified by Travis. My plan is to use this in the next version of my package choroplethr <https://github.com/arilamstein/ch...

Hi Dirk, I'm interested in pursing this but I haven't been able to figure how to to make it work. Here's what I have so far: install.packages("drat") library(drat) addRepo("arilamstein") I (obviously) have a copy of the choroplethrZip github repo locally. I typed: git checkout gh-pages git push I gather that this is what I needed to to do make the repo web-accessible. Although I found this step a bit confusing because it looks like github has a pages feature for both acco...

...ver an error in the package and decide to update it? The choroplethr package could have a dependency, and it's not clear how to make that dependency explicit to the user.

It appears that install.packages does not automatically install package dependencies when the package is installed via a URL. As an example, here is what I get when I attempt to install the latest ggplot2 tarball via its URL on CRAN: > install.packages(" https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/ggplot2_3.5.1.tar.gz") inferring 'repos = NULL' from 'pkgs' trying URL

Duncan and Berwin, Thank you for your help. I really wanted confirmation from someone more experienced than me that I wasn't missing something. It looks like there is no way to do this in one line in base R, and that's fine. For reference, the packages that I am doing this for are acs and choroplethr, both of which were archived today. (choroplethr depends on acs, and acs was archived
