CRAN-ial Expansion: Taking Your R Package Development to New Frontiers with R-Universe
summary
R-Universe becomes a private CRAN-like registry that builds binaries for Windows and Mac so large or niche packages install reliably without CRAN vetting; the uploader uses it to publish 20+ brain atlas packages that exceed CRAN size limits, hosts dev and released versions side-by-side, and automates package lists via the r-universe API to populate a searchable webpage. The setup reduces install support, enables lab- or org-scoped package collections, and the example workflow proves effective in production.
