A neat post from Tom Palmer on managing a large R-Universe, including a bunch of `justfile` receipes : https://remlapmot.github.io/post/2026/runiverse-tips/

Five tips for managing your R-universe 🚀 | Dr Tom Palmer

A few tips I find helpful for managing my R-universe. Including; referring to pull requests, adding and removing packages and checking your packages.json with justfile recipes, and finding out your package dependencies.

Did a lil' weekend project writing a an R-DBI wrapper for Cloudflare's D1 hosted SQLite database service: noamross.r-universe.dev/RD1 👇 These cards that @[email protected]'s #R-Universe creates are awesome. Thanks @[email protected]! #RStats

RD1: DBI Client and API Wrapper for Cloudflare D1

A DBI-compliant database interface and API client for Cloudflare D1's serverless SQLite database. Provides wrappers for D1 REST API endpoints, including time travel and bookmark-based restoration, plus convenience functions for common multi-step workflows such as exporting and downloading databases.

👆 These package cards that @rOpenSci 's R-Universe creates for you are awesome. Thanks @jeroenooms!

timing may not be great given the recent re-organization at github, but browsing #Bioconductor source code and packages is going to be nicer (for now at least) when the package sources and the build system are transitioned to github - #r-universe github.com/bioconductor... #rstats #Bioinformatics

@rOpenSci an update: the bug has been fixed in the development version of {pak} and {pkgbuild}. you can down use `pak-version: "devel"` in your workflow to use it in your workflows

If you use a packages from the #RUniverse on #GitHub using r-lib/setup-r-dependencies and are seeing an error that says "malformed DESCRIPTION" it might just be this bug: https://github.com/r-lib/pak/issues/771

In short: A recent deploy of the R Universe added a `File:` field in /src/contrib/PACKAGES that is causing the tarball to be named as the sha256 hash and {pkgbuild} (used by {pak}, which is used by r-lib/setup-r-dependencies) does not like that one bit.

One solution to work around this is to add the GitHub sources to the `packages:` field:

```
with:
packages: |
github::[user]/[repo]@[version]
```

@Lluis_Revilla @bioinfhotep "OS_type" is correctly picked up by #Runiverse !

Build graphics show that {kissatire} is unix only and has a little minus sign for the build status on the right. :)

#RStats

I just added a package to my #RUniverse packages.json but there was a problem updating the registry (was working fine before). The logs are here. https://github.com/r-universe/ellakaye/actions/runs/14268759000/job/39996861708. The problem seems to be in the line "fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled”. Is this a temporary glitch? If not, any ideas how to fix it? I have a PAT set up that seems to be working fine in other contexts.

We're excited and grateful that @RConsortium has named R-Universe their newest top-level project! This means sustained support for @rOpenSci's platform for discovery and publishing of R packages. We've got big plans ahead, especially to support building large, collaborative repositories on top of R-Universe.

All praise to @jeroenooms, R-Universe's lead developer, who will also join the Consortium's Infrastructure Steering Committee.
