ciw – CRAN Incoming Watcher
Example
Motivation
The incoming/ directories at CRAN can be perused from a
webbrowser, have long had a dedicated watcher
dashboard page, and are accessible via the foghorn
package.
Yet I was looking for something both quicker, and simpler, and easier to manipulate. After taking a quick look at this, I quickly had a working sketch of what is now the incoming() function here. Adding a command-line wrapper for littler was equally quick, and provides what is shown in the gif above.
Installation
The package is on CRAN and
can be installed via a simple install.packages("ciw").
Alternatively you can install it from here or from r-universe.
To also run ciw.r you need to either install littler or just
fetch the script (and maybe tweak it for Rscript use of docopt).
