bspm 0.5.0 (2023-02-19)
- New function
moveto_sys() moves existing user packages to the system
library to avoid package shadowing; the associated script mass_move
enables mass-calling this function for several users and/or libraries to
facilitate bspm deployment in multitenant servers (#60 addressing #59).
- New function
shadowed_packages() analyzes the library tree and reports
which packages, one per row, are shadowed by others (#62 addressing #58).
- Add new
options(bspm.version.check=FALSE) (true by default) to globally
enable binary-source installation type (#61).
- Add a specific manual page
bspm-options documenting all supported options.
- Add support for the installation of binary Suggests and Enhances if they are
supplied to the
dependencies argument of install.packages.
LinkingTo now is omitted for binary packages as documented (#32).
bspm 0.4.2 (2023-02-09)
- Fix error forwarding in root mode (#54).

type="binary-source" is set and
a package without binary version available is requested (#56).
- Fix installation error in
options(pkgType="both") mode (default) when an
available binary is not available as source (#57).
bspm 0.4.1 (2023-01-09)
- New
type="binary-source" option (or fast mode) tries to install as many
binaries as possible (requested packages and dependencies), and then falls
back to source installation (per @eddelbuettel's wish).
- Fix the call to
available.packages() when the repos argument is specified
(#52 addressing #51).
bspm 0.4.0 (2022-11-24)
- New function
available_sys() returns a matrix of available packages with
"Package", "Version", and "Repository" (#47 addressing #41).
- Honor
type option, set by default to "both", which means 'use binary
if available and current, otherwise try source' (#48 addressing #46).
As a consequence, the option bspm.always.install.deps has been removed.
bspm 0.3.10 (2022-08-05)
- Check backend availability on
enable(), and trigger a warning if the
service is required but not found. This check can be disabled by setting

- Force
sudo unconditionally also with autodetection (#27, #28).

options(bspm.sudo=TRUE) forces sudo unconditionally (#28).

passwordless sudo autodetection on every call (#27).

- Fix spurious error with
options(bspm.always.install.deps=TRUE) (#24).
bspm 0.3.6 (2020-10-13)
- Make APT call fail if there are unmet dependencies (#20).
- Add new
options(bspm.always.install.deps=TRUE) (not set by default) to
always try to install recursive hard dependencies of packages from system
repositories even if the requested package is not available (#14, #23).
- Add a note about SELinux (#19).
bspm 0.3.5 (2020-08-24)
- Fix noise when
busctl is installed but there's no system bus (docker) (#12).

/tmp (#13).
- Fix compatibility with Python 3.6 (#16 addressing #15).
- Workaround PATH for old versions of APT/dpkg (#17 addressing #15).
- Prioritize
options(bspm.sudo=TRUE) over DBus calls (as part of #16), so that
any DBus error or incompatibility can be at least bypassed with sudo.
