Submit a source package to CRAN

Build a source package and submit it to CRAN with the curl package.

Usage

submit_cran(file = pkg_build(), comment = "", sync = TRUE)

Arguments

file

The path to the source package tarball. By default, the current working directory is treated as the package root directory, and automatically built into a tarball, which is deleted after submission. This means you should run xfun::submit_cran() in the root directory of a package project, unless you want to pass a path explicitly to the file argument.

comment

Submission comments for CRAN. By default, if a file cran-comments.md exists, its content will be read and used as the comment.

sync

Whether to sync the current Git branch with the remote repository before submission.

devtools::submit_cran() does the same job, with a few more dependencies in addition to curl (such as cli); xfun::submit_cran() only depends on curl.
