Tools and functions for managing the download of binary files. Binary repositories are defined in YAML format. Defining new pre-download, download and post-download templates allow additional repositories to be added.
You can install binman from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("ropensci/binman")The following is an example of using binman to get the GitHub assets from a project. The project is https://github.com/lightbody/browsermob-proxy/releases . When a new version is released a zipped binary is added as an "asset". A JSON representation of the project releases is available at https://api.github.com/repos/lightbody/browsermob-proxy/releases. binman needs a YAML file to specify how to parse this projects assets:
name: binman-bmproxy
predlfunction:
"binman::predl_github_assets":
url: https://api.github.com/repos/lightbody/browsermob-proxy/releases
platform:
- generic
history: 3
appname: "binman_bmproxy"
platformregex: browsermob-proxy
dlfunction:
"binman::download_files": []
postdlfunction:
"binman::unziptar_dlfiles": []The file can be accessed at:
ymlfile <- system.file("examples", "yaml", "bmproxy.yml", package = "binman")
Downloading the three most recent releases can the be done using:
process_yaml(ymlfile)with resulting directory structure (We omit files for brevity):
john@ubuntu:~$ tree -d /home/john/.local/share/binman_bmproxy
/home/john/.local/share/binman_bmproxy
