Looking for a particular #rstats package or function? Try the new powersearch in r-universe.dev
The R-universe search engine WebUI now lazy-loads the cards (upon scrolling), such that we can include more results while making the page still load instantly! Have a look, e.g. r-universe.dev/search?q=json
Super cool new feature adds an interactive tour to r-universe package pages. Go try it! r-spatial.r-universe.dev/sf (or any other package page)
[blog post] A fresh new look for R-universe! ropensci.org/blog/2024/06/12…
The stan team is switching to r-universe to build and distribute R packages 🚀 discourse.mc-stan.org/t/anno…
Big rewrite of R-universe WebUI! Pages are cleaner, load much faster, better SEO, improved rendering of articles, citation, charts, etc. Some example pages:
tidyverse.r-universe.dev/
tidyverse.r-universe.dev/pac…
tidyverse.r-universe.dev/dpl…
tidyverse.r-universe.dev/art…
Short writeup on new rOpenSci package 'fluidsynth': ropensci.org/blog/2024/02/20…
This week there are two opportunities to share your questions/suggestions/ideas about R-universe.
On Monday (5pm CET) we meet with the R consortium repositories WG: github.com/RConsortium/r-rep…
On Tuesday (6pm CET) I will host rOpenSci's office hours: ropensci.org/events/coworkin…
Technote about how r-universe cross compiles arm64 binaries on GHA: ropensci.org/blog/2024/01/14…
New technote on the blog: R-universe now builds WASM binaries for all R packages. Big thanks to @gwstagg for getting us this far! ropensci.org/blog/2023/11/17…

We now build webassembly binaries (for use with webr) for all R packages on r-universe. The chromium icon in the table indicates if a wasm build is available, e.g. ropensci.r-universe.dev/buil…
Over the last year we interviewed 5 research groups who actively develop R software about their goals, practices, struggles, and how they make use of r-universe.dev. Check out the wrap-up blog: ropensci.org/blog/2023/11/06…
Quick technote about QR scanner in R: ropensci.org/blog/2023/10/30…

Another option is r-universe (thanks to @opencpu) which has repositories for source (of course), and binaries (including Ubuntu LTS)
# Install quantmod in R:
install.packages('quantmod', repos = c('joshuaulrich.r-universe.dev', 'cloud.r-project.org'))
joshuaulrich.r-universe.dev/…
There are issues with getQuote() again github.com/joshuaulrich/quan…
It's fixed on GitHub, but won't be on CRAN for a couple weeks due to CRAN's summer break.
Install the patched version in the meantime:
remotes::install_github("joshuaulrich/quantmod")
#quantmod #rstats
Updated 'hellorust' for the new CRAN guidelines to automatically vendor rust code when building an R source package: github.com/r-rust/hellorust
Quick technote about new cran.dev shortlinks: ropensci.org/blog/2023/07/26…
🚀 Extending the cran.dev with a JSON api, e.g.
api.cran.dev/gert
api.cran.dev/dplyr
show the 'release' and 'devel' versions of a pkg, with links to corresponding source, docs, and metadata.
🚀 You can now use cran.dev shortlinks, e.g
cran.dev/magick
docs.cran.dev/magick
To fly directly to the r-universe dev page or html manual for any CRAN package! 🤓
