insertPackage should work with absolute filenames? · Issue #7 · eddelbuettel/drat (original) (raw)

The following code:

drat::insertPackage('/home/spav/trunk/code/r/staging/foo.plot_0.1.tar.gz',
 repodir='/mnt/NAS/installers/r/drat/')

fails with an error like:

In file.copy(file.path(curwd, file), srcdir, overwrite = TRUE) :
  problem copying /home/spav/myworking/directory/basically/pwd//home/spav/trunk/code/r/staging/foo.plot_0.1.tar.gz  to /mnt/NAS/installers/r/drat//src/contrib/foo.plot_0.1.tar.gz: No such file or directory

I am using drat 0.2.0 with git2r, from the directory /home/spav/myworking/directory/basically/pwd
