now, only the R version is matched, not package versions.

in a Nix shell evaluation (i.e. custom R function), but had a previous
successful run with a different expr and/or R global environment state
with success and _out.Rds produced, the current session fails to bring
this output into the current R session.project_path, now attemps to
record sessionInfo() with try. We found failures of that command under
older R versions on Nixpkgs for macOS (i.e., aarch64-darwin).LD_LIBRARY_PATH.glibcLocalesUtf8 with gibcLocales (imports all
locales). This was necessary to support Nixpkgs R versions <= 4.2.0, where
glibcLocalsUtf8 derivation was not yet available. We do not sacrifice
reproducibility but rather have larger total sizes of derivations involved
in the subshell (around 200MB extra).nix_build(): consistently separate cmd and args for nix-build systemrix::init() to initialize and maintain an isolated, project-specific,
and pure R setup via Nix. It accomplishes this by writing a custom .Rprofile
that guarantees R packages can only be attached from Nix paths, preventing
unnoticed loading from the system's R user library (R_LIBS_USER and ensuring
runtime purity regarding packages and linked libraries). Additionally, it
appends /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin to the PATH. Currently, this
modification only takes effect in the current R session and not in new R
sessions for RStudio on MacOS. This is because the default R session is not
started from a shell. The PATH will be modified by RStudio when starting the
R session, effectively after loading the local .Rprofile. Future versions
of RStudio will hopefully respect all environmental variables from a shell
environment.rix::rix(): patch for nixpkgs revisions corresponding to R (r_ver)
<= 4.2.0; nix-build failed because attribute glibcLocalesUtf8 was
not found. Fixed by importing gibcLocales. Thanks @motorlearner for
reporting.Added with_nix(), which can evaluate a function in R or shell command via
nix-shell environment, and return the output into the current R session.
This works for both evaluating R code from a nix-R session within an other
nix-R session, or also from a host R session (i.e., on macOS or linux) within
a specific nix-R session. This feature is useful to test dependencies and
specific setups of software in controlled environments.
Added tar_nix_ga(), a function to run targets pipelines on Github Actions
using a Nix expression.
rix::rix(): fix missing pkgs.mkShell when shell_hook = NULL.
Both shell_hook = "" and shell_hook = NULL are now producing valid nix
expressions.rix::rix() now defaults to "en_US.UTF-8" for the relevant locale
variables (LANG, LC_ALL, LC_TIME, LC_MONETARY, LC_PAPER,
LC_MEASUREMENT) and sets these environment variables in
the Nix shell. These will be correctly propagated into the Nix R session.
Users can modify the locale setting via
options(rix.nix_locale_variables = list(LANG = "de_CH.UTF-8", <...>), e.g.,
but it needs to be an UTF-8 locale. This is because we only import the
glibcLocalesUtf8 subset, to not keep the size reasonable.glibcLocalesUtf8 from Nix for "x86_64-linux".rix::rix(tex_pkgs = NULL)rix::rix() argument tex_pkgs.inst/extdata/default.nix so that it installs {rix} v0.3.0.nix_build() now supports --max_jobs flag of nix-build via options(rix.nix_build_max_jobs = <integer>).
