{updateme} modifies library() to tell you if your packages are up to date when you load them:
You can install {updateme} from CRAN like so:
To use {updateme}, simply call library(updateme) before loading other packages. You may find you’d like to have {updateme} available all the time; in this case, consider adding this snippet to your .Rprofile:
By default, new versions of packages will be looked up from the location where they seem to have been installed from. If you installed from CRAN (e.g. using install.packages()), {updateme} will check CRAN for a newer version, and similarly with packages installed from Bioconductor, GitHub, and GitLab.
Occasionally you may want more control over where {updateme} looks for new package versions. You can configure this behaviour, including turning {updateme} off for particular packages, using updateme_sources_set(). If you want to temporarily disable {updateme} entirely you can do so using updateme_off().
Some caching of downloads is used to make most calls to library() pretty quick. The cache resets every hour, but you can configure this like so:
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
