Packages are available for installation from the repository at https://community.r-multiverse.org.
A traditional software version cycle begins with the development phase, where bugs are identified and fixed, and ends with the production phase, which promises a seamless user experience.
Community aims at a space just before production, commonly referred to as Quality Assurance (QA). This means that:
- Each package release has the full endorsement of its own maintainer. R-multiverse always provides a version that its developer chose to distribute for general use.
- The user is still responsible for judging whether a package is appropriate to use. Some releases may still have issues, as indicated by their check results, publicly available at https://community.r-multiverse.org.
Anyone can contribute packages to Community via GitHub. Each package only needs to be registered once.
Every new release then automatically deploys to the repository without needing to go through R-multiverse again. In other words, the package maintainer is in complete control.
This frictionless, maintainer-driven experience was made possible by the incredible infrastructure of rOpenSci's R-universe system.
R-multiverse perfectly complements your existing personal or organization R-universe.
This can continue to hold either development or release versions for yourself and your colleagues. At the same time, R-multiverse deploys the latest package releases directly to the wider community.
