{slushy} is a wrapper built on {renv} to mirror a controlled R environment through CRAN snapshots and an agreed set of packages.

The {slushy} package aims to support the following:

  • Reproducible workflows with {renv} as the engine
    • Initialize, update, sync, and check status of the environment
  • Stable environments via Dated CRAN snapshots from Posit Package Manager.
    • Use of a snapshot helps ensure compatibility between packages and portability of the environment
  • Use of a fixed set of packages
    • Limit installation to an agreed upon set of packages
    • Identify use of non-agreed packages
  • Seamless updates
    • Utilize the latest and greatest features in the R ecosystem or revert back in time

You can install the development version of {slushy} like so:

Use

Actions available in {slushy} primarily fall into 2 categories: (1) initialization and maintenance of the environment, and (2) use of the environment. Please reference the corresponding vignettes for specifics.
