R package checker
=================

# Introduction
---

R package checker is a tool to check if a new version of an R package (you might be developing) brakes any package which depends on it.

It works with a Bash script and an optional simple web interface. It runs R CMD CHECK on every package that depends on the package to test.

The execution of the R CMD CHECK can be parallelized by giving the corresponding option to the Bash script.

XVFB is used to perform graphical actions even without being under a running X server. JQuery is used to present check results.

There is basically three ways to use R package checker :

* Call the Bash script directly and watch the output
* Call the Bash script directly with the --html option to produce a real-time html output
* Setup the Php files and adapt values in config.php to manage test launch and results viewing.
